Trip Highlights
The Caribbean After a quick tour of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, you'll head to the coastal Caribbean lowlands. A boat trip along the narrow waterways of Tortuguero National Park leads to a hidden riverbank lodge in the rainforest. Toucans & Rafting Look for toucans and other brightly coloured birds as you explore the unique system of natural and man-made canals famous throughout Costa Rica. Travelling back through banana plantations and past volcanoes, you can enjoy some great white water rafting (optional - minimum age 8 years). Arenal Volcano La Fortuna lies at the foot of the
Arenal volcano in the north of Costa Rica. Here you can bathe in thermal waters and on a clear night you may see the volcano spluttering lava like a firework display.
