1st day - Arrive in Costa Rica

The first day we arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica - the land of beautiful tropics, wild jungles and amazing adventure! We will be holding our first night's briefing here.

2nd and 3rd day - Volcano Visit and Canyoning/Zipline Tour

Early this morning we travel to Turrialba, the extreme sports capital of Central America. Turrialba is a quaint mountain community surrounded by sugarcane, citrus, and macadamia plantations. We visit Turrialba Volcano and then travel to the privately owned canyoning site. Canyoning is beginning to gain popularity in the world. With skills and equipment borrowed from the basic concepts of Rock Climbing, Canyoning uses the natural settings of canyons. Our canyoning guides are experts and have many options to accommodate all physical levels and abilities. The course incorporates rappelling over many waterfalls and traveling across the canyons by way of zip lines suspended over 50 feet in the air! From here we stay at Hotel Turrialtico with it's vast views of the valley below.

4th day - Rockclimbing Adventure and River Swim

This day we journey to our Rock Climbing site just outside of town. The Rock Climbing activity is optional, but definitely recommended. The rocks in the area are beautiful and our climbing guides are great at helping participants in the vertical world. For those not interested in the rock climbing option, you may relax and swim in the river next to the rock climbing area. There is a natural spring here to drink from and a picnic area for snacking. Our evening is spent at Hotel Turrialtico for one last night.

5th and 6th day - White Water Rafting, Camping on River in Jungle Camp, Visit Indigenous Village

From Turrialba we venture to the Pacuare River. The Pacuare River is rated one of the top ten white water rafting spots in the entire world. With soaring canyons full of tropical flora and fauna, you may spot toucans flying overhead. Our guides start the day with a safety speech and begin rafting from the Tres Equis' put in. After venturing through some of the thrilling rapids, we stop to explore some of the beautiful waterfalls located in the hidden canyons.

Halfway through the day you will reach a camp, where we provide a delicious lunch and a "happy hour" where you and others can share some of the day's adventures while sipping refreshing drinks and having a delicious lunch.

We camp here in secluded canopy covered tents. The next day we hike to a private indigenous village where the local tribe members share their wisdom of the jungle and explain how they live off the land in a more primitive way than others in the modern world.

We then continue rafting down the river, enjoying the last of the rapids and the scenic views. The trip ends at the bridge in the town of Siquirres. After exiting the river, the guides will lead you to a small café with changing rooms, a shower and a drink.

In the afternoon we travel to Puerto Viejo. We spend the evening here.
