Beach and Cloud Forest Escape
Manuel Antonio & Monteverde – 8 Days
Some trips are about discovery. Others, about connection. This 8-day Costa Rica escape offers both.
Start on the Pacific coast, where lush jungle meets the ocean. Wake up to the sound of toucans, sip coffee with a view, and unwind in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. Choose two adventures that match your travel style—hike through a national park, zipline above the canopy, kayak through mangroves, take a surf lesson, walk the rainforest at night, or join a hands-on cultural experience.
Then, head into the misty highlands of Monteverde, home to Costa Rica’s iconic cloud forests. There, you’ll choose your pace: glide across treetops on a zipline, or explore the forest with a naturalist guide in search of rare flora and fauna. Your final day is free—perfect for enjoying local cafés, gardens, and artisan shops.
This flexible itinerary blends comfort, adventure, and authentic experiences, ideal for couples, families, or small groups seeking a deeper connection to Costa Rica.
