Costa Rica Individual Travel

Poás Volcano – the mighty blue eye
From the airport in San José the way to the volcano Poás is not far. Here you can start directly with one of the most spectacular volcanoes of Costa Rica! The summit landscape of Poás transports its visitors into another world, because with the fissured craters Poás rather reminds of a lunar landscape. From here, take a look at the two crater lakes and marvel at one of the most acidic lakes in the world.

Turquoise sea – a Caribbean paradise

After this introduction, you can now continue to the southern Caribbean. On the way there you can go rafting and get your adrenaline pumping. You will also get your first impressions of the jungle that rushes past you during the fast ride.

Once you arrive in the Caribbean, you can relax for a while! Relax under palm trees and let the sun warm you up. Or stroll along the beach while the turquoise water gently rushes around your feet. In the evening you can enjoy the popular Costa Rican Imperial beer and freshly caught fish in a local restaurant. 

At an animal show in the dense cloud forest – where can you find something like that?
Now you can relax and head for the cloud forest of Monteverde. Keep your eyes open, because there is a lot to discover in the rainforest! Little brightly colored frogs jump around, while parrots sit together with friendly sloths and cheeky monkeys in the trees. From far away you can see the volcano Arenal, which offers a special sight due to its perfect cone shape. You can drift on a boat trip on the Arenal Lake, or you can go windsurfing, because the Arenal Lake offers a large area and strong winds, which is why it is very popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers.

Nature’s living room – who’s looking in the window?
Now the journey can continue to La Tigra Rainforest Lodge. A real jungle adventure awaits you here! Because in the lodge you can experience the jungle up close: The lodge consists of fixed tents with comfortable beds and private bathrooms in the middle of the jungle. In the morning you will be woken up by the concert of the monkeys and can then take a close look at the jungle and its inhabitants from the hammock. On the trails around the lodge you can discover sloths, parrots and many other inhabitants of the jungle, far away from mass tourism. Feel at home in the living room of nature!

Adventure Pacific – dream beaches, colorful fish and lots of sea

Now the journey to the Pacific coast can continue. Here you will find great waves for surfing and a fascinating underwater world. Discover while snorkeling or diving that Costa Rica has something to offer not only on land: The colorful fish, bright starfish and small seahorses guarantee a rewarding diving adventure while you listen to the whales singing. If you want to experience wild Costa Rica, travel to the Osa Peninsula in the far south and dive deep into the jungle. 

Happy and exhausted from the exciting trip you can now return to San José and review your experiences. This is how your personal Costa Rica trip could look like – or completely different. Let the country inspire you and travel wherever you want!
