An exceptional holiday in the heart of a green paradise! Set off on an unforgettable adventure in the land of green gold, Costa Rica.

You'll discover the full diversity of wild flora and fauna.

You'll also get to meet the locals and learn about their culture.

You'll start your journey in the central valley: you'll discover San José, but also Cartago, the former colonial capital and its basilica, which was the first place of worship in the region.

You will also see a volcano that is still active: the Irazú.

You will then continue your journey to Tortuguero, nicknamed the Little Amazon. You will reach your lodge via the canals.

Your journey then continues to Cahuita, on the Caribbean coast.

You'll meet the Yorkín community, one of the oldest civilisations in Central America, and have the chance to spend the day in total immersion with them, sharing their rites and culture. ☀

You'll be heading for Arenal, with its volcano, eco-thermal baths and suspension bridges, for a stage rich in emotion.

You will then head to Tenorio to visit its national park, which is home to the Río Celeste waterfall.

The penultimate stage of your journey takes you to Guanacaste, to the majestic Rincón de la Vieja volcano, with its waterfalls, thermal baths and hiking trails.

You will also visit a sanctuary dedicated to pumas. The last stop is Sámara, where you can relax in a seaside resort and enjoy some of the country's prettiest beaches.
