Costa Rica - Volcanoes & Jungles
A land of lush, primeval, protected beauty
Cradled between two continents and two seas lies a land as wild and primeval as any on earth: Costa Rica. Protected in this tiny isthmus are more species of wildlife and flora than any other place on the planet. Volcanoes seethe, rainforests flourish and turquoise bays teem with marine life.
Raft, kayak, hike, bike and boat deep into the heart of Costa Rica's untouched wilderness on this week-long adventure. Float the canals of Tortuguero National Park to a soundtrack of exotic birdsong, watching for manatees, caimans, crocodiles and turtles. Trek along lush trails through the rainforest in the shadow of the smoking Arenal Volcano. Explore a pristine canyon as you rappel down waterfalls and enchanting gorges.Tackle the epic class III-IV Pacuare River rapids and relax at the end of the day in the sulfur-rich waters of Arenal's hot springs.
When night falls, enjoy a meal of fine local cuisine and watch in awe as glowing red boulders tumble in slow motion from the smoldering mouth of Arenal Volcano.
