THE LUXURY COSTA RICA COLLECTION PRESENTS

Activities Beyond The Brochure

Activities are approached as part of the journey, not as standalone moments. Each experience is selected based on access, pacing, and how it fits within the larger route, rather than on volume or intensity. We focus on private, guided activities that allow for control, flexibility, and comfort. Some days emphasize movement and exploration, while others slow down to allow space and recovery. What matters is how each activity supports the overall flow of the trip.

Movement changes how you experience a place.

 

Pacific

Caribbean

Highlands

Lowlands

Activities are structured forms of guided movement through terrain, designed to fit the traveler and the day. Pacing, environment, and access determine how each one unfolds.

Activities are chosen based on terrain, timing, energy level, and desired depth of experience. Some journeys include daily movement, while others use activities more selectively. Experiences are adjusted in real time when needed, allowing the trip to evolve without pressure or rigidity. The goal is balance, not accumulation.

NATURE.
WILDLIFE.

Adventure here is not about volume or chaos. It is a curated form of motion through forests, canyons, and volcanic terrain, guided by professionals who understand both the environment and the traveler. The energy comes from pacing, elevation, and skill, not spectacle. Days are designed to challenge without overwhelming, and to leave space for recovery afterward.

  • Visit protected areas that show the country’s natural range, from rainforests to volcanic regions. Each park offers marked trails and reliable wildlife viewing.

  • Walk to accessible falls and pools located in forested areas. These visits offer a simple mix of movement, scenery, and time near the water.

  • See animals such as monkeys, toucans, sloths, and other native species in natural habitats. Guides help travelers move through these areas with care.

  • Travel by boat through mangrove systems along the coast. These calm waterways provide a close view of birds, reptiles, and coastal plant life.

  • Spend time with local animal welfare groups that help care for rescued dogs. This is an optional activity for travelers who want to support community efforts.

  • Explore canal systems and protected lowland forests known for turtles, birdlife, and quiet waterways.

ADVENTURE.
THRILL.

Costa Rica has forests, wetlands, rivers, and coastal habitats with a wide range of wildlife. Travelers can explore these places at a steady pace with a guide who understands the terrain and how to move through it safely. These experiences focus on quiet observation, open space, and time outdoors.

  • Move through forest canopies on established routes with trained staff and controlled equipment.

  • Travel down select river sections suited to your comfort level. Guides handle navigation and safety.

  • Ride on marked trails through rural areas, forests, and open terrain. The “Extreme” option uses steeper routes and rougher paths for skilled riders.

  • Walk designated trails around active or dormant volcanic areas with clear viewpoints and steady inclines.

  • Enter guided cave systems that offer a close view of underground formations and narrow passageways.

  • Explore forest areas at dusk with a trained guide. These walks focus on quieter wildlife and sound‑based observation.

  • Ride through coastal paths, farmland, or forest edges with support from local ranchers and guides.

BEACHES.
FISHING.

Coastal days are defined by access and timing rather than crowds. Fishing charters, beach landings, and guided shoreline routes are operated by crews who know the environment and move with precision. Travelers compare the energy of the Pacific with the calm of the Caribbean, choosing based on season and preference. This is a slower, more intentional way to experience the coast.

  • Spend time on Pacific or Caribbean shorelines with space to rest, walk, and enjoy calm parts of the coast.

  • Join local guides for coastal or near‑shore fishing trips. These outings focus on steady movement, safe practice, and time on the water.

  • Travel through coastal mangrove systems by boat. These areas support birds, reptiles, and other wildlife found near the waterline.

  • Visit reserves along the coast with marked trails and viewing spots for marine birds, crabs, and other shoreline species.

CULTURE.
CONNECTION.

Costa Rica has a steady, practical culture shaped by community life, food traditions, and a close relationship with the land. Travelers can take part in simple, hands‑on activities that show how people live, work, and share knowledge. These experiences focus on connection rather than performance and offer a grounded look at daily life.

  • Learn how local dishes are prepared through a guided, step‑by‑step session with Costa Rican cooks.

  • Take part in a basic dance class that introduces rhythm, movement, and the social side of local music.

  • Visit small farms to see how coffee and cacao are grown, harvested, and processed. These tours offer a clear, simple look at local production.

  • Join short lessons focused on practical Spanish for travel and daily conversation.

  • Spend time in community settings helping with English practice. This option is available only during specific months and requires advance planning.
