Costa Rica Multi Sport CME

The Wilderness and Marine Medicine CME Conference takes you through lush tropical rainforests to secluded wilderness beaches and down the wild whitewater of the Pacuare River. Immerse yourself in the untrammeled Costa Rica.
This Wilderness and Marine Medicine Continuing Medical Education Conference combines two world-class adventures in Costa Rica one trip. First, we travel to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica to raft the incredibly beautiful Pacuare River near Tortuguero National Park, named one of the best in the world by National Geographic Magazine. Lush vegetation, a wide variety of wildlife (such as jaguars, monkeys, sloths, ocelots, and a diversity of birds), waterfalls, pools, and a pristine rainforest are found along its course.

We stay at the beautiful Pacuare Jungle Lodge, before flying to Corcovado National Park and the Cano Island Biological Reserve. This paradise is a combination of tropical wilderness and beaches, recognized across the world as one of the most biologically rich areas on Earth.

Our accommodations there will be the spectacular La Paloma Lodge. Regarded as one of the best eco-lodges in Costa Rica. La Paloma has a variety of great activities including hiking, snorkeling, scuba, natural history trips.

Another day will be spent on the beautiful Cano island. Cano Island is an amazing marine biological reserve on the Pacific Coast. This is a full-day guided tour where you’ll get to do some snorkeling and explore the island. A picnic lunch is provided on the excursion. 

There are numerous activities you can enjoy while staying at La Paloma Lodge. You can spend an afternoon sea kayaking or horseback riding. Explore the underwater marine life scuba diving or snorkeling. Do some bird watching or take a Bug Lady tour. If you want to unwind after a day of adventure, the secluded and beautifully tiled pool and deck provide a quiet place to relax, not to mention the best sea view this side of the Pacific; so kick back to watch the sun as it drips into the Pacific beside Cano Island and let the exotic and tropical atmosphere of Paloma erase the stress of the outside world.
