Arrival in Costa Rica. After welcoming you at the San José Airport, your guide will bring you to a comfortable hotel in the city and take time to answer any questions, meet the group and prepare for your multi-activity adventure trip. The evening is free to explore San José.

Leaving San Jose, we drive along the foothills of the Irazú and Turrialba volcanoes to our rafting “put in” on the Pacuare River. We will run a total of 27 kilometers of Class III-IV rapids while exploring the magnificent valley and some of the most dramatic scenery only accessible by river. As we pass along the river we border land inhabited by indigenous people who have occupied the area for centuries. You will see a few crossing they use for access and sometimes get a glimpse of them fishing in the river, or the children playing. In the afternoon we arrive at our comfortable riverside camp - “El Nido del Tigre.” which nestles between the rainforest and the river. There is plenty of time to settle into the camp and make it your home, exploring the lush environment first hand, looking out for toucans overhead, observing the local iguanas or simply relaxing in a hammock to the rush of the river as it passes on its journey to the Caribbean.

The journey to Tortuguero begins with a drive to Cano Blanco where we change to a motorboat to reach the remote area of Tortuguero. This Region is the most important nesting site for the green sea turtle in the entire western half of the Caribbean and it is possible to take a night walk in search of nesting turtles. During the day, if you have some energy to leave poolside, take a walk into town or on the beach. A visit to the community museum in town is a worthwhile stop. Optional activities include an early morning trip by boat through the canals to catch sight of the forest awakening or for those who are still feeling fit, take a kayak and explore more of the canals – they are never ending! The gentle pace allows sufficient time to enjoy the surroundings while learning about the flora and fauna and animal life found in the area. The couple of days in the area are a great way to unwind and relax.  (B, L, D)

Watch the Sunrise on the Caribbean and the Sunset on the Pacific - quite unique! A little after Sunrise and breakfast we take a domestic flight back to the Central Pacific Coast. With some time to get used to the quite different coastline pick your place carefully to witness the stunning Sunset. The next few days can be spent exploring this beach area. Visit Manuel Antonio National Park, which is famous for its beautiful beaches and abundant wildlife, relax at the pool or on the beach and when you feel energetic there are a number of options to choose from.

The morning is free to spend a few more hours enjoying the beach. At mid-day we will return by ground transportation back to San José. The evening may be spent taking in the sights and sounds of San José. (B)
