Looking for more from a vacation? On 01 December, 2021 we're sending a small group of soft adventure enthusiasts on a 17-day guided tour of Costa Rica - not just the beach, but all of it. Introducing the G Adventures' Costa Rica Adventure, one of the experiential itineraries in their Jane Goodall Collection. We've also added a visit to Territorio de Zaguates - Land of the Strays (subject to permit approval).

HIGHLIGHTS

QUEPOS

Located on the Pacific coast, Quepos is a picturesque coastal town that is minutes from Manual Antonio National Park. Marvel at the abundance of wildlife, play on the beach, or enjoy the coastline by sailboat.

MONTEVERDE

After playing on the beach, the group moves inland to witness the rain forest of northern Costa Rica. Ziplines and coffee plantations are popular excursions in this mountainous region.

LA FORTUNA

La Fortuna is located at the foot of Mount Arenal, one of Costa Rica's six active volcanoes. Enjoy waterfall rappelling, soak in the local hot springs, hike the volcano, or try some whitewater rafting.
