Wake up to the sounds of the jungle and a breakfast prepared from fresh, tropical produce, and a cup of coffee made from beans grown on the trees outside. After a brief tour of the Finca Rosa Blanca farm, and a delicious farm to table lunch, we drive through this verdant landscape to the Cloud Forest of Monteverde. Get out on foot and take in the lush rainforest teeming with life and beauty. Take your dinner tonight to another level by dining above the forest canopy, savoring extraordinary views and the freshest local cuisine.

After a hearty breakfast, you’re going deep into the rainforest for a stunning hike. Wind your way over rope bridges, past natural pools to the spectacular El Tigre Waterfalls, named for the majestic jaguar native to this forest. Finish the hike on horseback, arriving to a well-deserved lunch in style. Spend the afternoon with a deep exploration of the coffee bean’s journey from seed to roast, crop to cup, with plenty of time for tasting. 

After breakfast, make your way towards Tenorio Volcano National Park. Along the way, visit the small village of Guacimal and an experimental sustainable farm growing local produce. Very few meals are more local than your lunch will be, prepared over firewood and exclusively made with ingredients from this enterprise. Continuing on, you’ll reach Rio Celeste in Tenorio Volcano National Park. Spend your evening hunting for colorful frogs and giant stick bugs on a twilight walk through this magical forest.

Today, trek along the wondrous powder blue Rio Celeste, arriving at the convergence of two rivers that combine to create this transfixing color  Rarely found in nature, the surreal-looking blue is formed by a unique combination of volcanic material and bacteria. You’re bound to encounter some of the local residents, like toucans, monkeys, and sloths, on the walk to the Rio Celeste Waterfall, before cooling off with a swim in one of the river’s natural lagoons.

Journey from the cloud forest to the ocean, stopping along the way for a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous Maleku people. Our hosts from the community will lead you through their reforestation project and medicinal gardens. Witness a traditional Maleku ceremony and savor indigenous culinary specialities. Continue on to the next destination, Playa Hermosa and the Pacific Ocean.  

What better way to see the aptly named Playa Hermosa (”beautiful beach”) than from the deck of a catamaran? On this carefree excursion, look for marine life as you sail out to some of the Pacific Coast’s best swimming and snorkeling. The sunset over the ocean tells you it's time to get back for dinner, a delicious farewell feast on the beach.

It’s time to say adios. After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight home.
