If you aspire to an easy-going life, then Costa Rica could be just the place for you to explore. Costa Ricans, Ticos, cherish the laid-back rhythm of ‘Pura Vida’ (pure life) in their little slice of paradise and you will too. So why not join our small group tour and ‘follow the beat’ as we ramble through Central America’s hot spot of biodiversity.

Tropical rainforests and lazy beaches, rugged mountains and volcanic peaks, lush valleys and wandering wetlands – yes, Costa Rica, known worldwide for its natural beauty, has it all. Add in more than 13,000 bird, animal and plant species and the colourful country will quickly invade your senses.

If you have a penchant for bird watching, our Costa Rica tour is indeed, paradise!

Hummingbirds – by the hundreds, toucans, trogons and tanagers; kingfishers, creepers and quetzals; aracari, antbirds and owls; you’ll find birds in every colour of the rainbow, more than eight hundred species of them. And we’ve scoped out some of the best lodges for seeing and photographing these beauties at close quarters. The photo-friendly set-ups are a photographer’s dream-come-true!

Along with bird hides and bush walks, you’ll also enter a world of unusual mammals and entertaining amphibians. Do you know how fast a sloth moves? Or just how cute  ‘blue jeans’ frog is? Or how Howler Monkeys can send a shiver down your spine? If you don’t know now, you soon will if you come on our Costa Rica tour with us.

You’ll love the diversity of landscapes we encounter on our rambles – highlands, lowlands, riverbanks, ravines, forests and farms. Believe us – with all it has to offer, from its flashy Resplendent Quetzal to its fresh-from-the-roaster first-class coffee, Costa Rica and its Pura Vida will charm you through and through.
