Costa Rica is small enough to cross. Large enough to cross too quickly.
What your week looks like
By eleven the cloud forest is still beautiful. It has simply finished saying the interesting things.
Rain almost always keeps its appointments. Around four, most afternoons, for an hour or two. Which is why the best time to be in hot springs is while it is raining on them, and why the walk happens in the morning.
None of that is on a map. It comes from having stood on the same trail at both hours.
Each shuttle and guided activity is quoted on its own, so you see exactly what it covers and what it costs before you owe anything.
Each service has its own price, payment terms and cancellation conditions, stated in its quote.
Nothing owed until you confirm.
What every trip has
01
Three regions in eight nights can be a very good week or a long drive with views, and the difference is entirely what goes where.
02
03
The difference is where the stop is. The soda by the road has served the same casado for thirty years, and that is the reason to stop. Your own vehicle is what makes stopping a decision rather than a delay.

Each service is booked separately.
Send what you have. A rough idea and two dates is plenty.
Traveler stories
Where to next
Choose a private shuttle or a guided activity. Each one is quoted, booked and paid for separately.
Monteverde and Arenal sit close together on a map. The lake between them has other ideas, which is exactly why the order of this one matters.
Arenal and Manuel Antonio, with the travel days cut short so the good part of each one happens outside.
Enjoy a full day of adventure with private round-trip transport and an Adventure Pass at Hacienda Guachipelín.
Yours won’t look like any of these.
Each route above was cut, stretched and rearranged for one traveler. Yours
will be too.
