Costa Rica is a land of breathtaking natural beauty where lush rainforests, majestic volcanoes, and pristine beaches converge. Nestled in Central America, this tropical haven offers a rich tapestry of wildlife, culture, and adventure.
New for this year: Our flight times allow us to spend an extra day in the beautiful coastal town of Tamarindo and the flight route means that we don't need to get a visa waiver for Canada.
Our journey begins in San José, the capital city nestled in the Central Valley. Once a quiet colonial town, San José is now a bustling metropolis.
We travel through the stunning Braulio Carrillo National
Park, with its misty mountain passes and verdant rainforests, passing through banana plantations to reach the
Caribbean plains. From here, we board a boat to Tortuguero, a remote coastal
village accessible only by water. Known as a sanctuary for sea turtles,
Tortuguero National Park is a treasure trove of biodiversity.
Please note that the nature of the places we visit means there is regular walking involved in the tour. Feel free to contact us for more details about the type of walking involved.
A boat tour along its canals reveals a world of wonders –
ancient trees, playful spider monkeys, and colourful birds. During our stay, we
explore trails, learn about turtle conservation efforts, and have the option to
relax by the lodge’s pool or paddle through the waterways on a kayak.
Throughout the tour, as we are generally seeing these amazing animals in the wild, we will see some close up and others further away. A pair of binoculars are a handy addition to make the most of our sightings.
Our journey continues to the northern plains and Sarapiqui,
a lush region of wild rivers and exotic fruits.
From the mountains, we make our way to Tamarindo, a jewel on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. With its golden sands and azure waters, Tamarindo is ideal for relaxation and exploration. Stroll along the beach or ride horseback by the shore. There may also be the chance to hire surf boards or join a snorkelling trip.
Each evening we will meet together for a time of singing and a Bible talk.
Costa Rica awaits – a land of wildlife, tranquility,
adventure and unforgettable memories.
