Trip Overview
The trip begins in San José, Costa Rica’s lively capital, before heading to the mountains of Tarrazú, a famous coffee region. We’ll visit a farm to see the bean-to-cup process and taste fresh brews. From there, we explore San Isidro, a charming mountain town offering a glimpse of daily rural life. Next, we spend two days in Corcovado National Park—home to toucans, monkeys, and maybe even tapirs. A horseback jungle safari leads to a secluded beach. We then unwind in Playa Hermosa with surf and sunsets, before La Fortuna’s waterfalls, rafting, zip-lining, and hot springs cap off the adventure.
