Our itineraries feature hikes, rafting trips, and birding excursions that weave us among Costa Rica’s volcanoes, its virgin cloud forests adorned with miniforests of bromeliads, lichens, and mosses, its diamond-clear rivers, and its peerless cast of natural characters: animals, plants, and more birds than anywhere else in the known galaxy. We carefully nurture relationships with the country’s finest guides, passionate, virtuoso naturalists. From a hillside base overlooking the glorious Central Valley, we wander near Tortuguero National Park (home to four of the world’s eight species of marine turtles). And based from a superb beachside retreat, we explore in and around Corcovado National Park’s unique Tree Canopy—an almost extraplanetary ecosystem.
