Beautiful Pacific beaches, pristine cloud forest, active volcanoes and the rugged landscape of Rincón de la Vieja await you.

 

   
     
     

This unique camping tour of Costa Rica puts you right in the middle of the exquisite beauty of Costa Rica’s famous parks. Visit an Indigenous reserve, zip line in the cloud forest of Monteverde, listen to the rumble of Arenal Volcano, walk among the bubbling mud pots of the surreal Rincón de la Vieja, and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Sámara. With snorkelling, mountain biking and wildlife viewing as well, this tour has it all!

Leaving the capital of San José, we will visit the Quitirrisí Indigenous Reserve to see their way of life and their traditional artisans. We then continue on to the village of San Mateo for a relaxing evening.

The next day we visit Costa Rica’s northern most Pacific rainforests of Carara National Park. After trekking in the park, we continue on to Monteverde, where we will have ample time to explore the famous cloud forest. For an adventurous experience, try the zip-line tour among the clouddrenched canopies and across open ravines!

Continue your adventure to Volcán Arenal, one of the most active volcanoes in the hemisphere. You can hike, mountain bike or visit one of the various hot springs that adorn the area.

From Arenal, we travel northwest to the dynamic Parque Nacional Rincón de la Vieja with its boiling mud and clouds of sulphurous vapours emanating from beneath the exotic foliage on the forest floor. Here we will explore the park, trekking in the enchanting lowland forest and up to the barren lunar landscape that marks the rim of a smoking cauldron.

What better way to finish our journey through Costa Rica than at beautiful Sámara beach. In Sámara, the soft sound of gentle waves is a perennial backdrop to your adventure. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy Costa Rica’s beautiful coastline. Snorkel or swim in the warm, clear Pacific Ocean before returning to San José.
