Costa Rica Adventure - TruTravels

Day 1  San Jose        
Welcome to Costa Rica, the land of ‘Pura Vida’, meaning pure life! Transfer to your hotel and settle in before meeting the rest of your TruTravels gang over a slap up dinner.

Day 2  San Jose to Coope San Juan    
Dive straight into Costa Rica’s rich culture today, with a visit to a rural village off the tourist trail. You’ll be staying with a welcoming local family who will show you around, then treat you to a cooking demonstration for lunch. Well fed, hop on a bike to explore the picturesque area, then watch the sun go down around the bonfire.        

Day 3  Coope San Juan to La Fortuna      
After a fond farewell to your hosts, hit the road to La Fortuna: Costa Rica’s adventure capital! Check into your hotel then head straight out for a soak in the town’s iconic volcanic hot springs.        

Day 4  La Fortuna    
Enjoy a full day to explore La Fortuna. Opt to spend the day chilling out at El Salto swimming hole, hiking, or pick from the plethora of adrenaline pumping activities, such as canyoneering, white water rafting or waterfall rappelling.      

Day 5  La Fortuna to Monteverde    
Set off on the incredibly scenic drive to Monteverde, through jungle covered mountains and across a glittering lake. Settle into your accommodation before the big highlight of the day – a night safari in search of Costa Rica’s nocturnal wildlife. If you’re lucky you might encounter sloths, armadillos and colourful tree frogs – not to mention an amazing variety of exotic birds.        

Day 6  Monteverde      
Monteverde is the birthplace of the zipline, with some of the longest and most epic ziplines in existence. Experience the thrill of flying through the cloud forest, with this whole day dedicated to exploring the canopy from way up high.  

Day 7  Monteverde to Santa Teresa      
Having had your fix of nature and culture, it’s time to hit the beach! Head to Santa Teresa, a town famed for its world-class surfing. Settle into your resort hotel then watch the sunset over the Pacific with a cocktail in hand.        

Day 8  Santa Teresa  
After a crazy few days, change pace with a day relaxing on the coast. Today is the perfect chance to book a surf lesson if you fancy catching some waves, then in the afternoon unwind with a yoga class.    

Day 9  Santa Teresa        
Make the short journey to one of Costa Rica’s hidden gems, the quirky town of Montezuma. Grab lunch by the beach then head to a beautiful waterfall in the jungle. At low tide, walk across the sea bed to creepy Cabuya Island’s cemetery, then go back to Santa Teresa for a big farewell night out.

Day 10  Santa Teresa        
Say goodbye to your fabulous guide and group of new friends for life, then depart at any time.
