I fell in heads over heels in love with Costa Rica. In fact, we all did. Arlo says next time we go, he isn’t coming back! The pura vida spirit captured our hearts and we were endlessly enchanted by all the nature, wildlife and beauty that is part and parcel of a Costa Rica trip. From the jungles in the mountains to the surf towns of the Pacific, it’s a destination with endless adventure.
Take a look at our huge Costa Rica itinerary, which we did over three weeks in springtime. Copy it entirely or pick and choose the bits that suit you. And we have individual guides to each destination too.
