TRIP OVERVIEW
TRIP ITINERARY
NUTS & BOLTS

Our premier Costa Rica eco-tour ventures into the most verdant tropical ecosystems in the remote rainforest's of the Osa Peninsula and the mystical cloud forests of Monteverde. You hike an endless variety of forest trails with private naturalist guides skilled at spotting wildlife. They lead adventurous forays in the jungle at night and rainforest canopy tours on hanging bridges. The award-winning nature lodges of Lapa Rios Ecolodge and Monteverde Lodge provide luxurious comfort, amenities and ambiance in total harmony with nature. In San Jose you are warmly received at the Grano de Oro, our cozy home-away-from-home. This Costa Rica rainforest tour can be run for two or more persons. It is an ideal romantic adventure, or a fun, active Costa Rica family tour with teenagers (or modified for families with younger children.)

Trip Notes: Family departures suggested for children 5 and older.

DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN SAN JOSE

Receive a warm Costa Rican welcome and transfer to one of the finest boutique hotels in Costa Rica, the Victorian Hotel Grano de Oro or similar.

DAY 2: OSA PENINSULA - LAPA RIOS LODGE & RESERVE

After a short one-hour flight to Puerto Jimenez on the Osa Peninsula, climb aboard the back of a 4-wheel drive vehicle with padded bench seats for the 45 minute scenic drive past small farms and rural homes to the Lapa Rios Ecolodge. Perched on a hilltop with stunning views to the sea, the Lapa Rios resort bungalows offer queen size beds, hardwood floors, private bath, and a tranquil private balcony. Enjoy fine al fresco dining by candlelight; Lapa Rios is not only an award-winning ecolodge but has gained notoriety for its creative exotic tropical cuisine.

DAY 6: MONTEVERDE CLOUD FOREST

Rise and shine! After an early breakfast, transfer to Puerto Jimenez for the return flight to San Jose. Our naturalist guide will meet us at the airport to begin our journey into the Central Highlands to the Monteverde Cloud Forest, settled in 1951 by a group of North American Quakers. Keep your camera handy as the bumpy road winds uphill offering splendid views along the way. Monteverde Lodge is set amid landscaped gardens and has a spacious dining room, large indoor Jacuzzi near the bar, and wrap around windows with views into the forest. In the late afternoon join a guided twilight walk on the loop trails of Finca Ecologica. Flashlights are provided or bring your own headlamp in search of sloth, Capuchin monkeys, and a variety of nocturnal birds and insects. Because of its lower elevation, Finca Ecologica tends to be less cloudy and rainy than the principal reserve on the continental divide. Overnight at Hotel Fonda Vela or similar. [BD]

Lodging	Hotel Fonda Vela
Description	Hotel Fonda Vela there are 40 spacious rooms complete with private hot water baths. The two restaurants feature home style and international cuisine with charming ambiance.

DAY 7: MONTEVERDE CLOUD FOREST

One of the longest canopy tours in Central America, fly over 1.8 miles 300 ft above the cloud forest canopy on the Monteverde zip line! (optional). Thrill seekers will want to check out the Tarzan swing! If you prefer to walk rather than fly, the Sky Walk is a dramatic combination of six suspension bridges over deep canyons at tree top level. In the afternoon we visit Juan de Dios farm where he shares with us traditional methods for cultivating sugarcane and coffee, as well as growing bananas, arracache (a local legume), avocado, macadamia nuts, and other Costa Rican specialties. A traditional oxcart pulled by oxen will then take us to the sugarcane mill where we taste products made from sugar cane. Overnight at Hotel Fonda Vela or similar. [BLD]

Grab your binoculars and water bottle as we set off with our guide in search of wildlife in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve. Our guide shares his vast knowledge of the cloud forest as we hear the primal sounds of the Howler monkey and watch the leaf cutter ants busy at work. Be on the lookout for the elusive Resplendent quetzal as well as the Three-wattled bellbird and Emerald toucanet. The Monteverde Reserve extends down both slopes of the Tilaran Mountains (2,300 to 5,600 feet elevation), encompassing eight different ecological life zones and protecting over 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds, and 1,500 species of plants. After lunch we head back to San Jose. Overnight at Grano de Oro or similar. [BL]

                                        Rise and shine! After an early breakfast, transfer to Puerto Jimenez for the return flight to San Jose. Our naturalist guide will meet us at the airport to begin our journey into the Central Highlands to the Monteverde Cloud Forest, settled in 1951 by a group of North American Quakers. Keep your camera handy as the bumpy road winds uphill offering splendid views along the way. Monteverde Lodge is set amid landscaped gardens and has a spacious dining room, large indoor Jacuzzi near the bar, and wrap around windows with views into the forest. In the late afternoon join a guided twilight walk on the loop trails of Finca Ecologica. Flashlights are provided or bring your own headlamp in search of sloth, Capuchin monkeys, and a variety of nocturnal birds and insects. Because of its lower elevation, Finca Ecologica tends to be less cloudy and rainy than the principal reserve on the continental divide. Overnight at Hotel Fonda Vela or similar. [BD]

                                        One of the longest canopy tours in Central America, fly over 1.8 miles 300 ft above the cloud forest canopy on the Monteverde zip line! (optional). Thrill seekers will want to check out the Tarzan swing! If you prefer to walk rather than fly, the Sky Walk is a dramatic combination of six suspension bridges over deep canyons at tree top level. In the afternoon we visit Juan de Dios farm where he shares with us traditional methods for cultivating sugarcane and coffee, as well as growing bananas, arracache (a local legume), avocado, macadamia nuts, and other Costa Rican specialties. A traditional oxcart pulled by oxen will then take us to the sugarcane mill where we taste products made from sugar cane. Overnight at Hotel Fonda Vela or similar. [BLD]

                                        Grab your binoculars and water bottle as we set off with our guide in search of wildlife in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve. Our guide shares his vast knowledge of the cloud forest as we hear the primal sounds of the Howler monkey and watch the leaf cutter ants busy at work. Be on the lookout for the elusive Resplendent quetzal as well as the Three-wattled bellbird and Emerald toucanet. The Monteverde Reserve extends down both slopes of the Tilaran Mountains (2,300 to 5,600 feet elevation), encompassing eight different ecological life zones and protecting over 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds, and 1,500 species of plants. After lunch we head back to San Jose. Overnight at Grano de Oro or similar. [BL]
