Expert Tips

Costa Rica

“Make sure you take a night safari, as you will get to see creatures rarely seen during daylight hours, such as tarantulas, bats, green vipers, scorpions and the famous sloth! Our expert guides know exactly where to find them with their super-strong torches.”

“Although, not for the fainthearted, the zip-lines of Costa Rica (of which there are many) are well worth trying. Great fun if you’re an adventure seeker, the zipline propels you through the air, high above the forest canopy at super-fast speeds.”

Matt

Costa Rica

“Explore Poás Volcanic National Park and discover the largest active crater in the world with its boiling acidic lake nestled in its centre. Stand awestruck at the sight of the summit’s rain-fed sulfuric lake as it bubbles and puffs smoke. On a clear day you are often able to see both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts from the summit!”
