Costa Rica: Coffee, Coast & Rainforest 9 days
9 days
Remote highlights of Costa Rica
Nine days bring together Costa Rica’s coffee country, tropical waterways and wild Pacific coast. Begin in the Central Valley, staying among the coffee farms and learning more about the traditions behind one of the country’s best-known exports. From here, travel into Tortuguero, where rainforest and waterways provide an immersive introduction to Costa Rica’s wildlife, with time to explore by boat and kayak. The journey then heads south to the Osa Peninsula, one of the country’s most remote corners, where rainforest meets the Pacific and days are shaped by guided excursions and time outdoors. Finish on the coast, with space to slow down and enjoy the water.
