Trails Of Costa Rica Adventure Holiday

Food

10 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners included.

Reality Check

Whilst the driving distances are not very long and most roads are good, some roads are of poor quality which can result in slow driving times. Particularly, this applies to the road in and out of Monteverde. The times given in the itinerary are generally accurate, but heavy rain can increase travelling times.

There are several included and optional walks on the itinerary which occasionally involve walking on rough paths. These are suitable for most levels of fitness. During times of heavy rain, trails can be muddy and slippery and extra care should be taken.

Many of the areas visited on the trip are hot and humid and there is the chance of heavy rain year-round - this is why Costa Rica is so green!

Normal group size and age

Normally 6 to 16, plus leader. Minimum age 16.

Icons explained

The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together. All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please see our Solo Departures page.

Designed for people who are in good health, enjoy the outdoors and want a relaxing trip packed with interest.

Exodus is always looking to improve our current itineraries and to offer something different. With many new trips this year, there is something unique and different to try every year.
