Adventure Tour

Day 1 : Villanueva de la Boca del Monte, formerly known as San José, is the capital of Costa Rica. At an altitude of 1,150 m, the city enjoys one of the 3 best climates in the world: 23°C on average! Some districts are worth a visit, such as Barrio Amon, with its neoclassical architecture, and Barrio Escalante, with its many small restaurants.
Since the 1970s, the capital has experienced an economic boom, with suburban expansion and a strong presence of universities. San José, with its 1,500,000 inhabitants, is a cosmopolitan city.
A little disconcerting at first, it’s easy to fall under the spell of this constantly bustling city. A capital full of life and color.

Days 2 and 3 : The Pacuare is not a tourist destination, but a rare experience. The scenic beauty of the river, the richness of the fauna and the omnipresent jungle make it one of Costa Rica’s most magical places, where rafting to a lodge, sleeping lulled by unfamiliar sounds and the lapping of the river, then meeting the Cabecar Indians is a unique experience. Our customers who have discovered the Pacuare by sleeping there one night still remember it…

A volcano with the perfect cone of legend makes the Arenal a must-see, and while lava flows ceased in 2009, the steam from the crater and the warmth of the thermal waters clearly indicate that the colossus lives on. The musts remain the suspension bridges and the thermal waters, but a wide range of other natural and/or sporting activities are available to visitors.

Day 6 : Close to the capital, the region is lined with some beautiful beaches ideal for relaxing and surfing.
But it’s the Carara National Park, with its pairs of macaws, that attracts the most tourists, and the Tarcoles River, home to a colony of American crocodiles, some as long as 6 meters!
At sunrise and sunset, thousands of birds fly in to search for food in the morning or return home at the end of the day.

The habitat is rarer, the beaches more deserted, the towns more like villages. The private reserves of Barú and La Merced, and the waterfalls of Nauyaca and Uvita are as much part of the region as the lure of the Pacific. From August to November, humpback whales calve in the warm, shallow waters of this part of the coast.

At sea, humpback whales calve and raise their offspring sheltered from predators, and dolphins live here year-round.
Fishing is a veritable religion in the region.
