A tropical paradise bursting with wildlife; Christopher Columbus was right to christen Costa Rica the ‘Rich Coast’ when he discovered it in 1502. Home to 6% of the world’s plant and animal species, many endemic, the country’s rich biodiversity is extremely colourful. Over 850 bird species have been recorded here - far more than found anywhere in North America, Europe and Australia. A cornucopia of exotic flora and fauna, Costa Rica is a nature lover’s delight.



  • Discover the tranquil waterways of Tortuguero, an important nesting site for Green turtles
  • Abundant wildlife viewing with sightings of monkeys, birds and sloths expected
  • Comfortable eco-friendly lodges and hotels throughout 
  • Two boat trips included at Tortuguero and a boat safari in the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge 
  • Visit multiple wildlife habitats in one week: verdant rainforest, lush mangroves, lava fields and serene cloud forests

On this Costa Rican adventure, we spend seven nights in comfortable hotels and lodges, aiming to use family-run establishments where possible. Below are the accommodations typically used on this trip.



San José: Aurola Holiday Inn San José (nights 1 and 7)







We begin and end our adventure at this high-rise hotel, which is conveniently located for the downtown area of the city. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and amenities include an indoor pool, fitness centre and a selection of restaurants (head to the 17th-floor El Mirador for a view over the city and Central Valley volcanoes).



Tortuguero: Pachira Lodge or Evergreen Lodge (nights 2-3)







In Tortuguero, we stay at either Pachira Lodge or Evergreen Lodge (above), depending on availability. Both are firm favourites with our groups: ideally situated for access to Tortuguero National Park by boat and with comfortable accommodation in the Costa Rican wilderness. Both even have a turtle-shaped swimming pool.



Arenal: Arenal Montechiari (nights 4-5)







Arenal Montechiari is a 10-minute walk from La Fortuna town. Each chalet bungalow is set within tropical gardens where hummingbirds gather, and there are wonderful views of Arenal volcano.



Monteverde: Monteverde Country Lodge or Montaña Monteverde (night 6)







Our night in Monteverde is spent at either Monteverde Country Lodge (above) or Montaña Monteverde, depending on availability. The former is a cosy retreat for the cool cloud forest climate with a restaurant serving fusion cuisine made with Costa Rican produce. The latter is adjacent to a private reserve and has a bar and restaurant serving homecooked Costa Rican dishes.
