Costa Rica Nature Tour: Thursday 20 June - Saturday 6 July 2024 (17 days)

 

This exceptional seventeen day wildlife adventure is custom-designed for photographers, artists, nature journalers and nature-lovers to experience the most pristine rainforests of Central America! Our tour will take you through rugged mountains to the Braulio Carrillo National Park, the Caribbean lowlands, the cloud forests and volcanoes of the central mountains, the lush Pacific rainforests and extended time in the Osa Peninsula, the most remote, wild and biodiverse region of Central America. We will be boating on the canals and lagoons that form the delta of the Estrella River, rafting on the Sarapiqui River, visiting the world-famous La Selva Biological Research Station with hikes through the exceptionally lush rainforests, and visiting the spectacular Arenal Volcano. Our final destination is to Corcovado National Park – THE ultimate wildlife place in Costa Rica. It is the most remote and biodiverse location in the country to see many rare and endemic wildlife species. With an extended stay at this location, and an extra stopover at Centro Ecoturistico La Tarde, we will see beautiful birds such as the scarlet macaw, salty-tailed trogon; we may even see cats such as the jaguarundi, puma and rare mammals such tapir and tyra.
