A rare opportunity to discover the best of Costa Rica on a deeply enriching 9-day journey through rainforests, volcanoes, beaches and coffee farms — designed to awaken your senses, reconnect you to nature, and immerse you in the warmth of the pura vida way of life.
Costa Rica has a way of resetting something in you. It's not just the landscapes — though they'll take your breath away — it's the pace, the warmth of the people, and the feeling that nature is running the show.
Each day brings a new landscape and a new rhythm. Mornings begin with tropical fruit, freshly brewed local coffee, and space for an early walk or yoga before the day unfolds. From cloud forest trails in the Talamanca Mountains to wildlife-rich rainforest encounters and long Pacific coast afternoons, the itinerary moves at a pace that feels both adventurous and restorative.
You'll visit a family-run coffee farm, ride horseback through open countryside, soak in volcanic hot springs, and fall asleep to the sound of the jungle.
The route winds from San José into the misty highlands, down through dense rainforest and coastline, and onward to La Fortuna for jungle trails and volcano views. Along the way, there's always space — to linger at a viewpoint, spot a toucan, book a massage, or simply sit with a good book and let the atmosphere do the rest.
This is a trip for people who want to feel the world, not just see it.
Corcovado National Park and cloud forest trails teeming with toucans, monkeys, sloths and more.
Visit a family-run farm in the highlands and discover how Costa Rica's finest coffee goes from cherry to cup.
Surf lessons, long beaches, golden sunsets and the feeling of salt on your skin.
Geothermal pools near Arenal Volcano, jungle hikes, and landscapes shaped by fire and water.
Travel with a maximum of 10 guests — intimate enough to connect, spacious enough to breathe.
Expert Costa Rican guides with over a decade of experience, plus Alfie as your dedicated trip host.
Arrive into Costa Rica and settle into the rhythm of pura vida. Meet the group and ease into the journey ahead with a relaxed first evening before heading deep into the wild.
We head south to one of the most remote corners of Costa Rica. Arriving near the Osa Peninsula, we transfer into the jungle to a remote riverside ranch.
Spend the afternoon immersed in nature — horseback riding through rainforest trails, along wild beaches, and beneath waterfalls. A raw introduction to Costa Rica at its most untouched.
An early start takes us by boat into the heart of Corcovado — one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. With expert local guides, we hike through primary rainforest in search of monkeys, tapirs, scarlet macaws and more. This is true wilderness — dense, alive, and unforgettable.
A day to exhale. Swim in warm Pacific waters, explore the surrounding jungle, or simply switch off in one of the most remote and peaceful regions of the country. A chance to absorb the rhythm of the rainforest.
We journey north along the coast to Uvita — where jungle meets ocean. The afternoon is yours: kayak through mangroves, snorkel in clear waters, or head out by boat in search of dolphins and seasonal whale migrations. Evenings here are slow — sunsets, ocean air, and good food.
A day of adventure or restoration. Option to raft down a tropical river, weaving through lush jungle landscapes, or spend the day at a slower pace — beachside, exploring waterfalls, or visiting a local vanilla or cacao project rooted in the region.
Another day to choose your pace. Surf, swim, explore hidden beaches or simply rest. Designed intentionally to create space — this is where the trip breathes.
We leave the coast behind and climb into the cool highlands of San Gerardo de Dota. Visit a family-run coffee plantation and experience the full journey from bean to cup. As evening falls, the cloud forest comes alive — a completely different side of Costa Rica.
Wake early to search for the elusive quetzal bird before continuing through the mountains. We travel onwards into the Turrialba region, exploring Costa Rica's agricultural heartlands and connecting with local producers — a deeper look into the culture behind the landscapes.
A day rooted in nature and tradition. Explore the landscapes surrounding Turrialba Volcano, visit local cacao farms to understand the journey from bean to chocolate, and enjoy time to slow down in this lesser-travelled region of Costa Rica.
A final full day to choose your pace. For those seeking adventure, optional white-water rafting offers one last adrenaline hit. Or take it slow — walk, swim, and soak in the surroundings before the journey home.
Cloud forest mornings, wild coastline afternoons, shared meals, wildlife encounters and restorative evenings.
Wake to birdsong and tropical light. Breakfast is slow — fresh fruit, gallo pinto, strong local coffee. There's time for a walk, some yoga, or simply sitting with the view before the day begins.
The heart of the day is adventure. A jungle hike through Corcovado. A horseback ride through green hills. A surf lesson on a wide Pacific beach. Every day brings a different landscape and a new way of moving through it.
Afternoons are spacious and unhurried. Spot wildlife from a canopy walkway, visit a coffee farm, soak in volcanic hot springs, or simply rest in a hammock and let the sounds of the forest settle around you.
Evenings bring the group together. A long meal at a local restaurant, cold Imperial beers, stories from the day, and the kind of conversation that only happens when you're far from home and completely at ease.
You'll be led by Alfie — a multilingual tour leader fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, French and English, with over five years of experience guiding small-group adventures across Latin America and Europe.
