Trip Details

Welcome to Costa Rica! We’re delighted you’ve chosen our country for your adventure. Upon arrival at Juan Santamaría International Airport, your private driver will be waiting with a sign displaying your name for easy identification. They will assist with your luggage and take you comfortably to your hotel in Rincón de la Vieja. The transfer takes approximately 5 hours, depending on traffic conditions. If you don’t see your driver, please wait a few minutes and call our emergency number. For your safety, do not accept a ride from anyone else. We wish you an unforgettable stay. Pura Vida!

The horseback ride to Oropéndola Waterfall starts with a 45-minute journey along a beautiful forest trail, surrounded by lush nature and stunning scenery. The waterfall, located near the Las Pailas sector of Rincón de la Vieja National Park, drops 25 meters into a turquoise natural pool in the Blanco River canyon, creating a perfect tropical oasis for swimming and cooling off. Upon arrival, there is a short hike along uneven terrain, and part of the trail requires walking through the river to reach the base of the waterfall. After enjoying and relaxing in this natural paradise, you ride back to Hacienda Guachipelín.

At Hacienda Guachipelín’s canopy tour, you soar over the stunning White River Canyon in a unique tropical setting. Glide through the treetops on zip lines, descend by rappel, climb natural rock walls, swing like Tarzan, and cross hanging bridges with breathtaking views. Each activity blends adrenaline, fun, and a close connection with nature. Shaped by millions of years of water erosion, the canyon offers a dramatic landscape surrounded by lush forest and wildlife. The experience includes seven zip lines, a hanging bridge, two Tarzan swings, a 20-meter rappel, a natural rock wall, and via ferrata sections, combining adventure and unforgettable scenery.

Leave behind the volcanic landscapes of Rincón de la Vieja and arrive at the Pacific coast, where Tamarindo welcomes you with golden beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and the effortless elegance of Guanacaste’s coastal lifestyle. Your stay at Cala Luna Boutique Hotel places you in one of Costa Rica’s most iconic beachfront settings. With its privileged oceanfront location, timeless charm, and direct connection to the vibrant energy of Tamarindo, the resort offers the perfect blend of comfort, tradition, and authentic Costa Rican hospitality. A refined seaside experience awaits, where every moment is shaped by the beauty of the Pacific.

Discover the natural wonders of Palo Verde National Park, a remarkable sanctuary where the Tempisque River winds through one of Costa Rica’s most important wetland ecosystems. Glide peacefully along the river and immerse yourself in a landscape filled with extraordinary biodiversity, from colorful tropical birds and graceful wildlife to crocodiles, monkeys, and other native species. Accompanied by a knowledgeable naturalist guide, uncover the secrets of this unique habitat and its role in preserving Costa Rica’s natural heritage. Complete this unforgettable experience with a traditional Costa Rican lunch, surrounded by the authentic flavors and warm hospitality of the region.

Your adventure begins at Tamarindo Beach, where you'll board a comfortable catamaran and set sail along Costa Rica's beautiful Gold Coast. As you cruise past secluded bays, white-sand beaches, and lush tropical scenery, keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, flying fish, and—during whale season—humpback whales. You'll stop at a calm bay to snorkel or simply enjoy the warm Pacific waters while the crew prepares a light lunch. Then, unwind on deck, enjoy the ocean breeze, and end the day watching a spectacular sunset as you sail back to Tamarindo.
