Day 1 – Depart U.S. / Arrive San Jose

Days 2 to 4 – Corcovado region
Corcovado is the experience of a lifetime for those of us who crave untamed wilderness and spectacular wildlife viewing. Warm Pacific waters wash its shores on three sides. The area was once the center for the pre-Columbian Disquis culture, whose skill as goldsmiths sent Spanish conquistadors on a futile search for fabled gold mines. Almost half of the peninsula is protected within Corcovado National Park, the largest of the parks and reserves that make up the Corcovado Conservation Area.

Located high in the Tilaran Mountain Range and straddling the continental Divide at 1,440 meters (4,724 feet), Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is one of Central America’s eminent ecotourism destinations. In this lush cloud forest dripping with dew, trees are festooned with ferns, mosses, bromeliads and exotic orchids, creating complex and beautiful ecosystems. Four hundred bird species are found in this microclimate, including the iconic resplendent quetzal and three-wattled bellbird. The reserve was founded by Quakers, who objected to the draft in the US and came to Costa Rica in 1951.

Costa Rica’s lush, diverse ecosystems, pristine waterways and volcanic sandy beaches are home to a staggering amount of plant and animal life. From the largest butterfly garden in the world to sea turtles, howler monkeys and tapirs, you will not soon forget the beauty and serenity of a Costa Rican adventure.

RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 12+
