A comprehensive tour through the jungles, mountains and coasts of this natural paradise with wildlife viewing, boat trips and beaches

Costa Rica is a charming and peaceful country with a rich natural heritage. Its hilly, forested interior hosts a wealth of plant, bird and animal life, whilst its superb coastline is perfect for marine exploration or beach relaxation. This trip visits several national parks and nature reserves replete with a wealth of exotic fauna including white-faced howler monkeys, sloths and iguanas. The white-sand beaches and rivers of both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts are perfect for swimming and snorkelling, and also offer chances to see turtles and caimans.
