Spend six days playing in Costa Rica’s Guanacaste province, an off-the-beaten-path paradise of volcanoes, cloud forests and jungle waterfalls. Our Costa Rica Adventure strikes the perfect balance of thrill and chill. Starting with a stay at an award-winning eco-lodge near Rincon de la Vieja National Park, we explore an otherworldly geothermal landscape where the earth itself bubbles and boils. Then we refresh our spirits with blue swimming holes, an exhilarating treetop zipline tour and a float down a tropical river. Along with natural beauty, our bilingual local guides help us soak up the regional vibe, which blends the culture of the native Chorotega people with Spanish and African influences. After three days, we travel to laid-back Playa Carrillo to immerse ourselves in sun and sea. Depending on the tides, we behold the coral reef via kayak, snorkel or stand-up paddleboard. Finally, an open afternoon allows you to choose an optional surfing lesson or simply stretch out on the sand—whatever gives you that pura vida feeling. This is a great trip for adults and fit, older teens. If you're traveling with younger children, check out our Costa Rica Family Adventure.
