Highlights
Experience the natural and cultural highlights of Costa Rica in one unforgettable day.

Enjoy a traditional Costa Rican lunch in a local restaurant surrounded by the river and rain forest. Just a 4-minute walk from the local restaurant, discover a private natural swimming hole along the Río Celeste. Take a refreshing swim and enjoy the river and surrounding forest in a peaceful, natural setting. Finish at a small farm at the foot of the volcanoes for a cacao, chocolate, and coffee experience.
