Itinerary
How it Works
Your Bamba travel pass includes every step of your route using authentic local transport, plus a load of unmissable experiences, so you can rub shoulders with the locals while you see every inch of Costa Rica’s laidback beach towns, volcanic horizons and lush jungles. All journeys and experiences are completely open dated – just book buses and tours on the go through the easy to use app and receive all the information you need to get to the departure point. Bamba recommends taking around 12 days to circle Costa Rica, but you can travel at your own pace for up to 12 months, or skip a couple of stops and do it quicker if you’re short on time! It’s your adventure to do your way.
Costa Rica
Start your loop of Costa Rica in San Jose, the friendly capital city. Get up close and personal with its culture and history through a food tour, munching your way around markets and landmarks – with plenty of rich local coffee! Hop on a shuttle to Manuel Antonio, a beautiful spot on the pacific coast where lush rainforest hugs the turquoise ocean. Explore the mangroves swamps and endless trails on a day tour, keeping your eyes peeled for howler monkeys and sloths hanging from above. When you’re ready to move on, swap rainforest for cloud forest in stunning Monteverde – an adventure lover’s paradise where you’ll fly through the dense canopy by zipline! More adventure beckons in La Fortuna, with kayaking, hot springs and smouldering volcanoes, then get back to nature with a two day expedition into the pristine reserve of Tortuguero National Park. Admire breathtaking views on a sunrise boat tour before heading to your final stop, the surfer haven of Puerto Viejo.
