Between two continents and two seas, Costa Rica contains an astonishing diversity and abundance of tropical flora and fauna. Caribbean and Pacific beaches border a land filled with whitewater rivers, waterfalls, tropical rain forests, active volcanoes, mountain cloud forests, and exotic wildlife and birds. The program’s miles of hiking and rafting through Costa Rica will be an adventure like no other on earth!
The Rainforest: Our program is based at the Sueno Azul Eco-Resort located in one of the most diverse regions in Costa Rica (1.5 hours from San Jose), offering a mosaic of mountains, plains, volcanoes, lakes, rivers, forests, fruit farms and cattle ranches. Marked by a quaint tropical flavor, the region is lush and enjoys balmy temperatures year round. Its proximity to Braulio Carrillo’s National Park and its imposing rivers that surround it makes this a place of sanctuary and peace within nature. The hotel praises itself on its unique rustic elegance where the good taste and nature excel between them both. It’s a terrific place to rest and decontaminate your body and soul. Sueño Azul it’s the perfect match between nature and comfort.
The Volcano: Experience the wonders of the Arenal Volcano with guided hikes and adventures, as we view its spectacular volcanic eruptions. Activities include, canopy tour, hiking and natural volcano hot springs. View spectacular volcanic eruptions as fire and lava spill over Arenals upper slopes, here the natural beauty of the rain forest mergers with the magnificence of one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
The Ocean: Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast offers impressive combinations of marine life and tropical forest. The region’s idyllic swaths of sugar sand bordered by coconut palms and jungle constitute some of the country’s most enchanting coastal scenery. The Caribbean is an area of exceptional natural wealth, since beyond the rows of palm trees you can often find lowland rainforest and extensive coral reefs inhabited by stunning wildlife. The ever verdant region is also the cradle of Costa Rica’s Afro-Caribbean culture, which implies different cuisine, music and language than what you’ll encounter in the rest of the country.
