Colours of Costa Rica
14 Days | From rainforest adventures to coastal bliss, a nature lover's paradise

Why I Chose This for You
Costa Rica is where the wild things are — monkeys swinging overhead, sloths snoozing in the treetops, and scarlet macaws flashing red against the jungle green. I chose this Dream Trip because it gives you the perfect balance: nature at its most vibrant, authentic cultural moments, and time to breathe by the beach. It’s a joyful, life-affirming adventure, ideal for the solo traveller who wants to feel safe, inspired, and deeply connected.
About this Trip
Costa Rica is a natural wonderland, filled with bountiful nature and incredible wildlife. From misty cloudforests and tumbling waterfalls to lush rainforests alive with the calls of monkeys and toucans, this journey captures the very best of the country’s landscapes and experiences.
This tour blends iconic sights with authentic cultural encounters. You’ll discover San José’s historic heart, drift along Tortuguero’s jungle canals, walk the Arenal Hanging Bridges with volcano views, and explore Monteverde’s cloudforest reserves. Then, round it off with days in beautiful Manuel Antonio, where rainforest meets the sea. With expert guides, thoughtful inclusions, and a supportive group of like-minded travellers, it’s a perfect mix of adventure and connection.
