San José, Monteverde, Arenal Region, Sarapiquí | COR


Discover the sensory delights and ecological marvels of Costa Rica, where you'll experience precisely why 'Pura Vida' is their national creed. Venture to a local roastery in the heart of San José, where the smooth, fruity, herbaceous notes of Costa Rica's finest brews will pair perfectly with a chocolate tasting and pineapple plantation visit in Sarapiquí. Tread through the diligently-preserved junglescape of Braulio Carillo National Park, where affable sloths, jumpy iguanas, mischevious monkeys, and more just might return your curiosity with some of their own. The mist-blanketed canopy of Monteverde’s cloud forest will astonish you as you race through it on a thrilling zipline ride. Costa Rica is more than just a beautiful travel spot—it’s a living classroom where nature’s lessons can be found in every jungle vine, coral reef, and warm patch of fertile volcanic soil. Join us on this educational odyssey to one of the happiest, most vibrant countries in the world, where adventure, ecology, and culture converge.
