On arrival into the International airport Juan Santamaría in San José, you will be met by your driver and taken to your charming hotel located in the center of the capital.  You will find yourself in the heart of San José, where you will find plenty to explore including museums, the national theater, el Mercado Central, restaurants and coffee shops.

In the morning your shared transfer will take you to a very special cloud forest reserve, the Savegre Cloud Forest: This area is made up of the Savegre Valley and the Los Santos Forest Reserve which is commonly referred to as the Savegre Cloud Forest. It provides a great alternative to the far more visited Monteverde cloud forest further north. Savegre area was declared a Forest Reserve in November 1975 and covers some 62,000 hectares. Three different forest zones blend together in this area: premontane rain forest, low mountain rain forest and mountain rain forest. Elevation ranges from 2000m to 3000m above sea level in Cerro de la Muerte. At this high elevation, temperature ranges between 0 and 17 degrees Celsius, with an annual rainfall of between 2500-3500 mm per year. The fauna is also diverse and more than 175 different species of birds have been identified. It is famously home to the Resplendent Quetzal, who lives here year round, as well as other species such as Trogons, Hummingbirds, Great Tinamou, sooty robin and woodpeckers, among others. You might also be lucky enough to spot bigger animals including as felines, tapirs, brockets and coyotes.

Wake up early and go on the Quetzal watching tour (shared with other guests not included) that lasts around three hours. Go in search of the resplendent Quetzal with its iridescent green feathers, its long, graceful tail and bright red breast! In the afternoon, go on a 2 hour-waterfall self-guided hike: walk on your own along the trails into the cloud forest and waterfall.

After breakfast you will meet your new driver who will take you on your next adventure. You will head off the beaten track in a 4WD truck to the amazing Tamì Lodge. The next 2 nights will be spent deep in the cloud forest surrounded by nature and with access to all your basic needs and amenities. Experience Tami Lodges’ unique luxury tented camp with spectacular views of the Los Santos Region. The lodge has 10 tents distributed onto 6 bungalows, 4 doubles and 2 singles. Every tent has its own private bathroom with hot running water. The showers are unique as they mimic waterfalls flowing over natural rock and the views are spectacular as the windows open up to the cloud forest and the valley

This amazing experience begins with you climbing a strangler fig tree from the inside, giving you a chance to view the forest canopy from the top.

After you have taken in the incredible views, you will rapell 50 meters back to solid ground before moving on to the next experience, via the 50 meter Monkey bridge, where you will have the chance to try out your balancing skills on a slackline.

You will continue on the self-guided trails until you reach 70 meters long canopy cable, part of the amazing Tarzan Swing.

In case your adrenalin is still pumping you will have another 25meter rappel back down to the ground.

The best is saved for last as your final activity sees you to take on the Jungle Fly where you will soar through the forest in a harness, reaching a height of 15 meters.

We finish with an “Extreme Lunch” at the ecological restaurant Cascadas del Savegre. Enjoy the rest of the day in the stunning surroundings including see beautiful waterfalls.

After breakfast experience the little travelled back roads of Costa Rica as you travel by 4×4 from the mountains of the Los Santos region all the way down to the Pacific coast. This incredible journey will have you crossing mountain passes and flowing rivers, allowing you to experience the full range of ecological regions that Costa Rica has to offer. The highlight of this trip is reaching Manuel Antonio with its perfect beaches and abundant wildlife. We offer you the opportunity to experience all of the amazing wildlife of Manuel Antonio National Park whilst being able to truly say you took “the road less traveled.”

Enjoy the beach, relax on the swimming pool or book one of the optional activities such as kayaking on the ocean, a boat tour through the mangroves or get the opportunity to enjoy the sunset during a trip on the catamaran.

Today your tour guide will take you on a spectacular journey to the stunning coastline of Manuel Antonio National Park. Manuel Antonio National Park epitomizes the popular view of Central America’s remote Pacific coast.

Lush green forest creeping up to the beautiful white sand and warm waters of the Pacific Ocean.

For this reason Manuel Antonio is one of Costa Rica’s most popular and scenic national parks, offering a well-marked trail system and prolific wildlife such as toucans and several species of monkeys.

It is connected to the mainland by a narrow land bridge and if you are up for the hike, provides a memorable view.

Playa Manuel Antonio offers a glimpse into the past with pre-Columbian turtle traps made of stone. Surfing, swimming or just relaxing under the sun are favorite activities for park goers.

Today you will be driven back to San Jose where you will have the night free to explore the city.

It is time to say goodbye to Costa Rica and you will be transferred to the airport in time for your return flight home.
