Costa Rica Adventure

Welcome to a rare opportunity to discover the best of Costa Rica on a deeply enriching 9-day journey through its rainforests, volcanoes, beaches and coffee farms - a trip designed to awaken your senses, reconnect you to nature, and immerse you in the warmth of the pura vida way of life.

Trip overview:

Dates: Feb 7–15, 2026

Deposit (£300) to secure spot

Balance due 90 days before trip

Group size: 1–10 (all ages welcome)

Physical rating: 2/5

Start/End: San José, Costa Rica

Each day in Costa Rica offers a new landscape, a new rhythm, and a new sense of adventure. Mornings begin with a fresh breakfast of tropical fruits and local coffee - simple, energising, and the perfect fuel for the days ahead. There’s always space for an early walk or yoga before we set out on the day’s adventure: a guided walk through the misty cloud forests of the Talamanca Mountains, a visit to the crown jewel of Costa Rica Corcovado National Park, or galloping on horseback along lush coastline. ​ We’ll visit a family-run organic coffee farm to experience the full journey from bean to cup, and later, for those who wish, take to horseback along a deserted Pacific beach - the kind of wild freedom that defines pura vida. Afternoons are yours to enjoy: perhaps spot sloths and scarlet macaws in the canopy above our lodge, book a massage, or paddle through glowing bioluminescent waters as the sun sets. ​ Our route takes us from San José into the cloud forests of Talamanca, down to the lush rainforests of Manuel Antonio, and finally to La Fortuna, a region of hot springs, jungle trails, and unforgettable volcanic views. Each stop reveals a different layer of Costa Rica - vibrant, alive, and deeply connected to nature and community.

"From pre booking, to getting ready for the holiday, and on holiday, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.  Alfie’s attention to detail is unmeasurable and this certainly is his raisin d’etre.  Alfie researches his trips and was so knowledgeable and passionate about the places and activities we experienced."
