Trip Ideas

Start your journey in San Jose to take in its rich city culture, fine dining and nightlife before setting off for three of Costa Rica's best beaches, each surrounded by forests, volcanos and charming towns. Spend your time immersed in the local culture, choose the daily activities from a long menu of options, and enjoy the nightlife and local cuisine at each stop. There will be enough sunrises and sunsets, waves and calm waters and glistening warm sand to fill the soul of even the most dedicated beach lover.

Bootcamp can be such an intimating word, but imagine hikes in a tropical forest, yoga on the beach and meals crafted for you by a personal chef. Your individual program is designed to challenge you at your personal level, and challenged you will be. Adventures will take you into the forests, beaches and raging rivers to help you push your limits and then bask in the glory of having done it. After a week filled with activities, quietude and masterclasses, you will take home the formula to continue to be your best self.

Who doesn't like catamaran rides, rainforests filled with monkeys and sloths, and beautiful days in the sun?

It is said that a sabbatical is the active pursuit of purpose. Write a book on your beachside terrace, ponder your future in a tropical jungle, become a wildlife photographer or a historian of Costa Rican culture. You can explore the Country's biodiversity in a short-term study program, and then share that knowledge by volunteering at a local sanctuary.
But, honestly, no one in Costa Rica will question your choice to contemplate your future on a glorious beach if that is your choice.

The Central Valley is the heart of Costa Rica's firsts, bests and favorites, and there are many of them. You will see the earliest pre-Columbian village, the tallest mountain peak, the largest geyser in the world, National Opera House, and the most visited National Park in the country. And while doing all of that, you will be surrounded by the first, best and most visited birds, butterflies, flowers, wildlife, cloud forests, waterfalls you can imagine. And if you find yourself in want of some beaching, though, take a 45-minute drive to Jaco Beach, one of the best surfing spots in Costa Rica.

Where there are jungles there are sure to be waterfalls. And Costa Rica has a lot of jungles. There are an endless variety of falls, from unworldly blue waters and swimming pools, rushing rivers down the sides of volcanos, mountain slides and a killer hike up a mountain to a three-tiered fall. And while you are waterfall trekking, you can zipline along a forest canopy or traverse a hanging bridge to get a view of the falls from above.

When self-care and renewal are needed, immerse yourself in the tranquility and calm of one of Costa Rica's best wellness retreats. Whether you choose a luxury resort with an ocean view, a boutique hotel nestled in a world of gardens or in one of natures own thermal spa and hot springs, you will receive a first-class spa menu, lush surroundings and fine cuisine. You will head home feeling relaxed, calm and rejuvenated.

Take some time to de-stress and rejuvenate at one of Costa Rica's yoga and spa retreats. You will enjoy a personalized yoga, nutrition programs and activities that both relax and stimulate you for a good night’s rest. While you are working on your bliss, you will be nestled in a lush rainforest or on a beautiful golden beach, where you can hike in a jungle, SCUBA dive in a hidden cove or laze at the retreat pool with a good book. Strengthened, nourished and renewed you will be as you head home.
