Please note that the following are not included and are your responsibility to arrange:
Day 1
Bienvenida a Costa Rica! Today you’ll arrive in Costa Rica from San Jose International Airport where you’ll be picked up and taken directly to your first accommodation at Finca Rosa Blanca. Today is all about settling in, meeting your fellow travellers and easing in to the relaxed Costa Rican pace of life.
Day 2
You’ll wake up on your first morning of the trip to the breathtaking Costa Rican highlands, surrounded on all sides by jungle, forested coffee farms and mountains. After breakfast, you’ll enjoy a tour of the coffee farm - or finca - where you are staying. Finca Rosa Blanca is an organic coffee farm employing sustainable practices in the production of their premium coffee. You’ll walk the coffee farm with a knowledgeable guide, learning about these practices and no doubt encountering some of the 143 bird species who call this part of Costa Rica home. You’ll finish your tour with a tasting of the coffee grown and roasted on site.
In the afternoon, you’ll have time to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
Day 3
This morning you’ll be picked up from the Finca and begin your journey south to Puerto Viejo, on Costa Rica's picturesque Caribbean coast.
Day 4
Today, take your time enjoying a slow morning and delicious breakfast feasting on tropical fruit, settling in to your beach resort accomodation in Puerto Viejo.
In the afternoon, join a walking tour with a local guide to taste the local delicacies from sea and rainforest. You'll learn about the rich biodiverse environments of the region and the bounty of food to be found in them.
Day 5
Today you'll embark on a full day of exploring in the Cahuita National Park. You can enjoy snorkelling on the coral reefs just offshore, with a rich variety of sea life visible just below the surface, and take a walk to witness waterfalls and lush rainforest ecosystems.
Day 6
Today is all about relaxing and self care. Choose how you’d like to spend your day - indulge in a massage, walk the beach and watch Puerto Viejo's famous surf break, or simply relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of your resort.
Day 7
You’ll travel back to San Jose today, leaving the beach and forest for Costa Rica’s vibrant capital city. Make the most of your last night of the trip with a special farewell dinner in San Jose, and a chance to reflect together on your adventures.
Day 8
Say farewell to Costa Rica and your travelling companions today as you transfer to the airport and depart on your home-bound flight.
