Trip Informations

Why you’ll love this trip

Swap the concrete jungle for real jungle on a journey across waterways, hot springs, palm-lined beaches and rainforests to spot Costa Rica’s creatures such as capuchins, ocelots and sloths.

Spot long-nosed tapirs, white-faced capuchin monkeys, ocelots and three-toed sloths on this wildlife adventure – Costa Rica is home to many exotic animals, and this trip puts you in the perfect position to see them all.

Go deeper than the average tourist with a homestay in a quiet agricultural community – the perfect opportunity to experience local life and practice your Spanish. You’ll even have an informal cooking lesson with the locals to make dinner!

Hop aboard a riverboat to Tortuguero, a region popular for its canals that attract both human and wildlife visitors, most notably local green turtles, which come at night to nest on the sandy beaches.

Visit the indigenous Maleku community to share a traditional meal and learn about their way of life – this small tribe has big ambitions for regenerating local forests and natural habitats.

Is this trip right for you?

Many of the activities (both included and optional) on this trip take place in the great outdoors. This means you'll need to be prepared to deal with insects and occasionally rustic conditions. It's all part of immersing yourself in this natural paradise.

Costa Rica is generally hot year-round, and from May to October can be pretty wet too. At nighttime and in locations at higher elevations it can get chilly. Protect yourself from the sun, bring light clothing you can layer and a waterproof jacket, and stay hydrated. Please carefully consider which time of the year you'll feel most comfortable travelling.

There are many opportunities to get active on this adventure. Some of the optional activities require a moderate level of fitness and sturdy walking shoes. If you'd prefer to take it easy, however, there are plenty of other things you can do instead.

The homestay is a wonderful opportunity to witness everyday local life. A hearty homecooked dinner and breakfast will be served during your stay, which can be a lot more basic than what you're used to.

With so much to see and do, Costa Rica can sometimes be expensive. Expect to pay more than you would in other Central American countries for a lot of things.

Itinerary

Dive into diverse Costa Rica, from the towering jungle to the palm-lined coast

Discover incredible, lush Costa Rica and understand why this part of the world is called the ‘rich coast’. This 15-day adventure, beginning and ending in lively San Jose, is a journey through the jungles, farmlands, beaches and cities of a pure Central American location. Stay with a local family in Santa Rosa de Pocosol and help your hosts prep a traditional meal. Soak in springs that get their heat from an active volcano in La Fortuna and take on a huge array of nature-based optional activities in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Spot three-toed sloths in the thickets of the Manuel Antonio National Park, then relax beneath swaying palms on the nearby beaches.

DAY 1
Day 1 • San Jose
Hola! Welcome to Costa Rica. Your adventure starts in San Jose – with over a third of the country's population living within its parameters, San Jose is packed with both people and culture. You’ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight to meet your local leader and fellow travellers. If you arrive early, why not visit the National Museum. This canary-yellow building houses everything from exhibits on pre-Colombian history to a garden filled with native butterflies. Early bird history buffs might be interested in the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum or the Jade Museum – both of which display a wealth of indigenous artefacts. It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

DAY 2
Day 2 • Tortuguero National Park
Leave the hotel this morning and descend to the Caribbean lowlands on a private transport that ends at the port of La Pavona. This rustic port is your entry point to Tortuguero National Park. When you arrive, hop aboard a small boat and take a ride into the depths of the Costa Rican wilderness. Arrive in the middle of this biodiverse area, where freshwater lagoons rest under the canopy of rainforest bordering the ocean. Many animals call this place home, including jaguars and turtles, so listen out for the sounds of the local wildlife as you fall asleep in your lodge tonight. Your travel time today will be approximately 4 hours.

DAY 3
Day 3 • Tortuguero National Park
Today, you're free to explore the park at your own pace. If you're woken by the chattering of the forests birds, why not haul yourself out of bed for a sunrise canoe trip? It’s a magical way to see the maze-like canals of the park, and you can look out for otters and manatees in the morning light. Tortuguero National Park was established in 1970 and is now home to 13 of Costa Rica’s 16 endangered mammals. Among them are manatees, ocelots and jaguars, as well as over 300 bird species. This is also the nesting ground of the green turtle, which comes ashore to lay its eggs on the sandy beaches, and the critically endangered hawksbill turtle, loggerheads and giant leatherbacks. During the day, you might want to return to the park’s walking trails or relax in your lodge. Many species are particularly active at night, so if you wish, you can head out in the evening on a turtle watching tour, with part of the cost supporting a program aimed to patrol the beach for poachers. Turtle Nesting Season typically happens between July and October each year. The optional activity will be subject to this natural event.

DAY 4
Day 4 • Santa Rosa de Pocosol Homestay
Bid farewell to the evergreen rainforest this morning and make the journey to Santa Rosa de Pocosol. Today, you’ll have a memorable homestay experience, but as the family you'll be staying with doesn’t speak much English, your leader will conduct an informal Spanish lesson on the drive. This afternoon, you’ll have the option to take a soap-making workshop or a guided hike to a nearby waterfall. In the evening, head back to your homestay for a cooking lesson – some of the dishes you make will be part of tonight’s dinner! Your travel time today will be approximately 4 hours. Tonight you'll stay with a local family led by one of our trusted women hosts. Typically, 2-4 travellers will be assigned to each host family. Bedrooms have two twin beds, and you'll have access to a shared guest bathroom. In the evening, you'll join the group and community at the village community centre for dinner before returning to your host family's home for the night. In the morning, you'll share breakfast with your host family, experiencing authentic local cuisine and warm hospitality.

DAY 5
Day 5 • Tenorio Volcano National Park Area - Rio Celeste Area
After having breakfast with your host family, continue your journey to the Rio Celeste region, which is part of the Guatuso town. This northern part of the country is characterized by rural community-based tourism. Before reaching this next paradise of birds and tranquil surroundings, make a stop to visit an indigenous Maleku community. Here, you'll meet the locals and share a traditional Maleku meal with them. Listen to stories about their history, culture, and the challenges the community faces in modern Costa Rica. With only 650 people left, the Maleku Indigenous community is the smallest in Costa Rica. Both the community and the country share a common goal of reforestation, working together to regenerate forests and plant fruit trees, which help encourage animals to return to their natural habitats. Your travel time today will be approximately 2 hours. Due to limited availability in Rio Celeste, we will occasionally use accommodation in Katira.

DAY 6
Day 6 • Rio Celeste
Today is as clear as the Costa Rica air, and with plenty of optional activities available, you won’t be short of things to do! How about a guided tubing excursion at Rio Celeste? The light-blue waters of the river are generally off-limits to travellers, but you’ll have the opportunity to float along the water in an inflatable doughnut and spend the day lazing along the river. Those who prefer a nature tour on foot might like to take a 3-hour hike along the Rio Celeste through the jungle, with a guide who will help you spot howler monkeys, crocodiles, and an abundance of tropical birds.

Day 7 • La Fortuna
Beneath the watchful eye of the immense Arenal Volcano lies La Fortuna – a sleepy town with an abundance of hot springs and natural pools to enjoy. This is your destination today and when you arrive, you’re free to choose your own activities. Perhaps grab some fresh fruit in town, hop in a taxi to the entrance and then hike to La Fortuna waterfall for a swim beneath the cascading waters that spill out of the towering jungle. In the evening, why not grab a classic local dinner with your travel buddies? Chifrijo (fried pork, salsa, beans and tortilla chips) is a great dish to try. Your travel time today will be approximately 2 hours.

Day 8 • La Fortuna
Enjoy a free day to explore La Fortuna as you wish. The region offers a range of sights such as stunning lush forest, rare plants, animal watching and water-based sports on the lake. The volcano’s inner workings also mean that the area has plenty of thermal springs where hot, lava-heated water gushes to the surface. These springs, often surrounded by foliage, make the ideal place to relax. Active types could try stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Arenal with the incredible backdrop of the volcano and rolling green hills. Animal lovers will have a good chance of spotting sloths, monkeys, crocodiles and basilisk lizards skipping across the water on a boat tour of Cano Negro Reserve. Have a chat with your leader about the options available. Some of the optional activity prices include an entrance fee only. Transportation will need to be paid in addition to the entrance fee and is subject to change depending on the number of participants.

DAY 9
Day 9 • Lake Arenal – Monteverde
A morning of travel by bus and boat leads to incredible Monteverde. Settled by North American Quakers in 1951, this area was initially used as an environmentally conscious agricultural community and is now a biological preserve. The forest has near-constant cloud cover, providing consistent rainfall, which also gives the area an enchanted feel. After checking in to your hotel, join your leader on a nature walk through the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, looking out for hummingbirds, quetzals, monkeys and even lazy sloths among the mist. Your travel time today will be approximately 3 hours.

Day 10 • Monteverde
Make the most of your free time in lush Monteverde. Maybe see a different perspective on the forest by walking through the canopy on suspension bridges, or perhaps watch butterflies at play in the Butterfly Garden. More than 2000 species of plants, 320 bird species and 100 different types of mammals call Monteverde home, and no matter what you choose to do, you should keep an eye out for the quetzal – one of the most elusive birds in the world. This evening, journey into the jungle for a wildlife excursion focused on the nocturnal animals. Meet with Tuuur Foundation partner, The Monteverde Conservation League, to explore the Children's Eternal Rain Forest – a private reserve founded in 1986 through fundraising efforts by children worldwide. Join up with a naturalist guide who’ll lead you through the forest and educate you on everything from the sounds to the species while also helping you spot the various frogs, insects and night birds among the trees. Some of the optional activity prices include an entrance fee only.

DAY 11
Day 11 • Manuel Antonio
Wedged between the beautiful Pacific coast and the national park, Manuel Antonio is a laidback town. Make your way there this morning, stopping along the way to join a local family in their home to prepare a traditional lunch and sip on local Costa Rican coffee. You'll have the chance to jump in and help, learning traditional techniques as the meal comes together! After lunch arrive at your accommodation and enjoy some downtime. Perhaps head to Espadilla Beach to watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Your travel time today will be approximately 4 hours.

Day 12 • Manuel Antonio
Today, feel the soft crunch of foliage underfoot while you hike the trails of the national park on a leader-led nature hike. Keep one eye on the scenic views and the other looking out for the abundant wildlife. Monkeys, armadillos, sloths and hundreds of birds all live here. Later, spend some time on the beaches surrounding the national park, and maybe hire a surfboard to catch some waves at Playa El Ray. If you want to spot wildlife and keep active at the same time, consider paddling through the mangrove forest on a guided kayak tour. It’s not unusual for curious monkeys to climb right onto the boat to say hello, and you’ll likely see snakes, crocodiles and plenty of birdlife too. Just remember your insect repellent! In the evening, maybe take a sunset sail off the coast – watching the blue sky turn orange is a spectacular sight.

DAY 13
Day 13 • Manuel Antonio
Today is free for you to do as you please. If you wish, you could return to Manuel Antonio National Park and continue your search for the solemn, white faces of the capuchin monkeys who live in the trees. Alternatively, why not kick-off your shoes and feel the sands of Manuel Antonio Beach between your toes? It’s easy to spend a whole day on this calm coastline. The towering green trees that line the coast provide solace from the sun, so this is a great place to sit by with a book (and maybe a guaro sour).

Incredible trip through Costa Rica! Our leader Kenneth was amazing—knowledgeable, fun, and super organized. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife and loved all the varied activities from hikes in the rainforests to rafting and swimming in the Pacific. Amazing trip, highly recommend it!

What an unforgettable trip to Costa Rica—bursting with wildlife, biodiversity, and the warmest people. Our brilliant leader, Kenneth, made everything seamless, and our group clicked from day one. Every day brought new wonders: toucans, frogs, iguanas, endless birds, and even a tarantula! Kenneth, you’re an absolute legend.

This was my first intrepid tour and my first fully organized long trip. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but really needed something to look forward to after a personally challenging year. Friends had told me the country was incredible but planning a trip on my own felt daunting. I ended up being completely blown away by the experience and feel certain that I will travel with Intrepid again soon! Kenneth was above and beyond amazing! His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of all the animals was infectious. We would stop the bus to better see birds and sloths… it was incredible. One day at lunch, he helped me save a bee that landed in my lemonade and I found that level of compassion for something most people would just kill so moving. Other guides outside of Kenneth our leader were as passionate and knowledgeable, especially Rey Brown! He knew medicinal plants, Latin names for what we were looking at, and had us laughing as we took it all in. He made the experience magic! The locations and group were also all so lovely! From connecting with local communities in ways I had never experienced on vacation to mangrove kayak rides that felt like a dream. I honestly have nothing negative to say and hope you enjoy this trip as much as I did.

Intrepid Travel delivered an unforgettable 15-day Costa Rica adventure. From lush rainforests to stunning coastlines, every detail was seamless. Our guide, Marvin Lopez, was outstanding—knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely caring. He brought the culture, wildlife, and spirit of Costa Rica to life. Highly recommend!

Leonie Mirjam

Dec 24, 2025

I loved this trip! The itinerary seemed well thought through and thanks to our guide we saw a lot of wildlife on our nature walks (at least on the days it didn't rain). I especially enjoyed the homestay and our visit to the Maleku community. Many optional activities meant spending a significant amount of additional money, but it also meant being able to personalize my trip a bit more (my favourites were the night walk in Monteverde and the kayaking in Manuel Antonio). Our guide Emil was very well organized and always ready to give additional information and recommendations. His enthusiasm made the trip even better.
