about this tour

This Costa Rican journey centers on the connection between people, place, and environment across different regions of Costa Rica. In San José, architectural detail and daily life reflect the blend of political, artistic, and social influences that shape the country. Cartago offers a quieter setting, where stone ruins sit near the Irazú Volcano. The contrast between the remains of colonial structures and volcanic terrain speaks to the forces that have shaped this region. In Turrialba, forested hills surround archaeological sites tied to early settlement. Sustainable agriculture plays a key role here, with pineapple farming offering a clear example of production aligned with the landscape. The eastern lowlands lead to an indigenous territory where knowledge of chocolate-making, plant medicine, and local food continues to guide daily life. A shared cooking experience highlights methods shaped by land and tradition. Near Arenal Volcano, wetlands provide space for close observation of flora and fauna during a quiet boat ride through the water’s edge. In Monteverde, cloud forests offer a cool, mist-covered environment, where conservation efforts and species protection remain ongoing. The Tamarindo coastline brings the tour to the sea, where time can be spent along the shore, shaped by tides, wind, and changing light. Each region offers a different way of living, rooted in place and shaped by both natural and cultural forces.

DAY 5: Take a trip into Costa Rica’s pre-Columbian past. Visit a Talamanca Indigenous Reserve, and learn about traditional chocolate-making, the uses of local medicinal plants, and sustainable farming methods passed down through generations. Step inside a community member’s home to see organic crafts, age-old tools, and forest-based customs that reflect a deep connection with nature. Then head to a nearby waterfall for a relaxed lunch.

Monteverde Cloud Forest & Night Walk
Departing La Fortuna, you'll travel along Lake Arenal before ascending to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Nestled in the Pacific highlands, Santa Elena serves as the gateway to this renowned wildlife refuge. Known for its charming wooden houses and cool climate, Santa Elena resembles a tropical Switzerland. This unique environment creates a cycle of warm sunshine and frequent drizzle, making Monteverde the world's most famous cloud forest. Cloud forests receive their name from their high altitude, where the forest reaches up through the clouds. After settling into your accommodation in Santa Elena, the afternoon is free to relax or explore. Visit the Monteverde Cheese Factory, established in 1953 by the area's Quaker settlers, to sample their renowned cheeses and ice cream, particularly the famous Monte Rico. In the evening, join your guide for a night walk through the forest to spot nocturnal creatures like insects and brightly colored dart frogs with their distinctive calls. This experience offers a unique blend of peacefulness and thrill amidst the cloud forest's darkness. Alternatively, during weekends, explore the town's nightlife with your guide and visit a local dance venue *(weekends only)*.

Visiting this wildlife centre, you can see how dedicated staff and volunteers work to rehabilitate injured animals like monkeys, deer's, pigs and even otters as well as birds and especially wild cats, that roam the grounds of the Miravalles, Tenorio and Rincon de la Vieja volcanic areas located in the background. On your visit you will receive information about the native animals for whom the sanctuary has become their home, learn about their behaviour, natural history, ecology and learn the stories behind their rescue and why they couldn't go back to nature. Then continue your journey onwards to Tamarindo on Costa Rica's Pacific Coast. Tamarindo has some of the best beaches on Costa Rica's Pacific coastline. The long, golden sandy beaches of Tamarindo are separated from the neighbouring beach of Playa Grande in the north, by the Matapalo River which is part of the Tamarindo Wildlife Reserve.
