Overview

This package is perfect for couples seeking to explore the stunning nature and diverse wildlife of Costa Rica! 

After arriving in the capital city of San José and spending your first night there, we will take you to the breathtaking Tortuguero on the northern Caribbean Coast. Known as the “Place of the Turtles,” Tortuguero is often called “Little Amazonas” due to its lush, vibrant landscape. If you visit during turtle season (July-October and February-April), you can add an optional tour to witness turtles nesting and laying eggs. Turtles can be seen year-round. During your three-day stay, you'll enjoy three exciting excursions: a riverboat tour, a rainforest hike, and a visit to the local town of Tortuguero to interact with residents. Wildlife sightings include crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, sloths, numerous bird species, and much more!

Next, you’ll travel to the charming mountain town of La Fortuna, home to the majestic Arenal Volcano. The town offers a variety of restaurants, both local and international. La Fortuna and Arenal are also excellent places to spot the adorable sloth. While here, you will embark on an adventurous half-day tour that includes horseback riding (or a car ride) to the spectacular La Fortuna Waterfall, which stands 229 feet (70 meters) tall. After this exciting morning, relax at your luxurious hotel, Tabacón, and enjoy its famous hot springs for the rest of the afternoon.

Your journey continues to the enchanting cloud forest of Monteverde and the cozy glamping hotel Chira. With over 2,500 plant species, Monteverde is a hiker’s paradise. You will explore the rainforest via hanging bridges with a professional guide, visit the butterfly and hummingbird gardens, a sloth sanctuary and experience an adrenaline-pumping zip-line tour. Monteverde is renowned among birdwatchers, with over 365 bird species, including the mystical and beautiful Quetzal—Costa Rica’s and perhaps the world’s most famous bird.

After exploring Monteverde, you will head to the Pacific coast to the vibrant beach town of Tamarindo. Famous for its stunning beaches, excellent surfing suitable for all levels, fantastic restaurants, and scenic surroundings, Tamarindo offers the perfect relaxing escape. You’ll stay at the adult-only four-star hotel, Jardin del Eden, known for its exceptional service and tranquil atmosphere. Spend your days sunbathing, swimming, trying out surfing, or choosing from a variety of exciting optional tours.

Finally, your private transfer will take you to Liberia Airport for your departure. We hope you enjoyed this romantic Costa Rican adventure and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
