Highlights To judge Costa Rica purely on its natural bounty would be a mistake. Costa Ricans, known as Ticos, are warm, friendly people whose kindness is as integral to their country as the rainforest.

This exciting holiday explores Costa Rica's most dramatic contrasts. You'll be amazed at the amount of wildlife you'll encounter. From quetzals and tree frogs to agoutis and iguanas, each day is memorably different. Walking on forest paths and some country tracks, we think we've found the perfect balance between spotting wildlife in the forest, and enjoying some awe-inspiring panoramas from the heights. Watching monkeys swing through the trees at Rincon de la Vieja, contrasts perfectly with contemplating sweeping views over Lake Arenal.
Our local guides have an expert knowledge of Costa Rica's flora and fauna and are passionate walkers. With them our tour is even more memorable as we learn about Costa Rica's unique natural inheritance. The hotels we stay in are normally mountain lodge style, with rooms like cottages with separate entrances. En suite and spacious, they are furnished to a high standard. Most have beautiful tropical gardens and swimming pools. Highlights include Arenal, where we look out at the volcano, and Ocotal with its stunning cliff top restaurant. Lunches are usually picnics with dinners in the hotels except for one night in Arenal where we take you to a restaurant in nearby La Fortuna.

We're probably a little biased, so here's what our customers say...
