The first light over San José feels like an invitation: warm air threaded with coffee smoke, and palms lining avenues that will soon lead you into rainforest and surf. On day one a uniformed guide meets you at the airport, but it’s after the first night—rose petals on the pillow, wine chilling in a 4-star room—when this trip shifts from itinerary to shared rhythm. Over the next eight days you trade city streets for the thunder of waterfalls, the hiss of hot springs and the slap of Pacific surf, pacing the country from high craters to emerald canopies.

Costa Rica’s modern conservation ethos grew in the late 20th century as the country shifted from cattle and coffee monoculture to protected parks and sustainable tourism, preserving habitats like Monteverde and Manuel Antonio.
Many operators emphasize low-impact tourism—use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid single-use plastics and stick to marked trails to protect fragile cloud-forest and coastal ecosystems.
