You're Culturious… from its rainforests to its cloud forests, you hike… paddle… kayak… dance… taste… learn… laugh… while Costa Rica captures your Culturious heart.
Naturally inspiring, Costa Rica is all about adventure, whether it is during guided hikes into a wildlife-rich jungle or dancing barefoot on the beach, margaritas in hand, to the lively beat of Costa Rican music. There are wonders to behold at every turn – emerald filled craters that camouflage lunar landscapes, cloud forests that kiss the skies with canopied treetops, plantations ripe with sugar cane, coffee beans and decadent macadamia nuts… beaches that flirt with azure seas… and mangrove forests that welcome brilliantly colored tropical birds of all sizes and plumage. And there are lots of equally wonderful ways to experience them with Culturious… zip-lining, rafting, horseback riding, cruising... 2012 pricing starts at US $2,990 per person double plus air. Maximum group size is 17.
