Costa Rica Adventure Becoming one with paradise...
You can’t get much “closer to nature” than in Tauck’s Costa Rica. One of the most ecologically diverse countries on Earth, it fits more than one definition of “paradise.” You can just feel it... holding your breath as you zip line through the canopy of a cloud forest, the wind in your hair, your heart in the clouds and howler monkeys bellowing below. Walking among the treetops on a “sky bridge,” eye-to-eye with red-eyed tree frogs and candy-striped toucans. Floating along a jungle river, meeting folks who have called this remote corner of the world home for generations. Sipping coffee at the source... cruising past a volcano... watching jewel-like butterflies flutter and golden treasures shine... becoming part of the rainforest that lives and breathes all around you...
