Rainforest Rush: Costa Rica’s Wild Rivers and Beaches with Raynelis

Welcome to Costa Rica! Touch down at Juan Santamaría Airport and feel the buzz of adventure in the air as we roll into San José, the vibrant capital that’s the heartbeat of Costa Rican culture and history. After our group transfer, we’ll settle into our cozy accommodation. Think comfy vibes and a chance to meet your fellow explorers IRL. The rest of the day is yours to unwind, wander the city’s colorful streets, or just soak in those first tropical feels.

Rise and shine, because today we’re trading city scenes for wild rivers and lush rainforests! After breakfast and checking out, we hit the road toward Puerto Viejo, but not before tackling the legendary Pacuare River. Surrounded by misty jungle and waterfalls, you’ll paddle through epic rapids (and maybe spot a toucan or two!), with a riverside lunch to refuel. By evening, we roll into Manzanillo on the Caribbean coast, where reggae rhythms and laid-back vibes set the tone for our next adventure. Check in, chill out, and enjoy a free night under the stars!

Wake up to the sounds of the jungle and a taste of Caribbean flavors at breakfast, then get ready to explore some of Costa Rica’s most stunning coastline. We’ll head to Punta Uva, a paradise known for its crystal-clear waters and lush rainforest. Hike scenic trails where the jungle meets the sea, then glide across the water in kayaks. Keep your eyes peeled for sloths in the trees and colorful fish below. After our adventure, we’ll return to town, leaving your evening wide open for spontaneous fun or just soaking up the local scene.

After a delicious breakfast at the hotel, get your adrenaline pumping on a thrilling zipline tour, soaring through the treetops and soaking in breathtaking scenery from above. As lunchtime approaches, step into a hands-on cooking class where you’ll not only learn to prepare local dishes but also savor your own culinary creations.

After this flavorful and immersive experience, return to the hotel and enjoy a relaxing, free evening to unwind or explore at your leisure.

After breakfast and a heartfelt goodbye to the coast, we’ll journey back to San José, swapping beach breezes for mountain views. Once checked in, get ready for our grand finale: a farewell dinner at a hilltop viewpoint, where we’ll toast to new friendships and relive our favorite moments as the city lights sparkle below. This is the perfect way to wrap up our Costa Rican adventure. Good vibes, great company, and memories to last a lifetime!

Our last morning together! After breakfast and checkout, we’ll share one last group ride to the airport, hearts full and cameras packed with epic shots. Though our Costa Rica trip ends here, the stories, laughs, and connections we’ve made are just the beginning. Until the next adventure — pura vida!
