June – August Day 4. Go river rafting in a jungle
An exciting day in Costa Rica’s tropical playground begins with a jungle river-rafting trip* on the Peñas Blancas River. Your expert guide will help you spot amazing wildlife from giant iguanas – they can grow up to 3 feet – to chattering parrots and slow-moving sloths. Stop along the way to visit the private home of a local farmer and his extended family who have lived on the river for generations; get a glimpse of their unique lifestyle. The rest of the day is free to explore, perhaps orchid spotting, bird watching, butterfly hunting or fruit picking? Meals BLD
Day 5. Pineapples, boats & a turtle trip On a visit to an organic pineapple plantation, hop aboard a special touring tramcar for an insider’s look at the process and history of pineapple production. We’ll drive atop some typically rugged, often unpaved roads to the coast for a boat ride to your riverfront lodge, set next to Tortuguero National Park. Keep an eye out for turtles, caimans, monkeys and toucans as you cruise. If you’re traveling with us between June and September, we’ll head out on a nighttime trip to the beach to observe nesting endangered green sea turtles. Meals BLD
Day 6. Tortuguero treasures
Wake up to the sounds of the rainforest all around you! Eleven different habitats have been identified in the surrounding wilderness, including 60 kinds of mammals, 57 species of amphibians, 111 varieties of reptiles and more than 309 recorded species of birds! Cruise the park’s rivers and canals with an expert naturalist guide, then visit a local village and the Caribbean Conservation Center to see how these ecosystems are being protected for the future.

Day 7. They’ve got a lot of coffee in...
