Dear Fellow Traveler:

There’s no better way to describe it: Costa Rica is a riot of color. Where else, in the course of a day, can you be dazzled by the brilliant plumage of an emerald toucanet, the iridescent wings of a blue morpho butterfly, and the flamboyant crest of a scarlet macaw?

It’s not only the creatures of Costa Rica that look as if they leapt from a paint box; it’s the scenery, too, from the shimmering greenery of a cloud forest canopy to the turquoise waters lapping at a crescent beach.

Costa Rica is to travel destinations what high-def is to TV.

Our Costa Rica Cultural Walking Adventure provides a stunning introduction to this jewel-toned country famed for its biodiversity. With expert naturalists as our guides, we explore a fascinating range of ecosystems teeming with flora and fauna, from tropical rainforests to mangrove swamps.

In true Classic Journeys style, a typical day might find us visiting a private, blissfully uncrowded cloud forest with views of fiery lava snaking down volcanic slopes…or making time to mingle with Costa Rican natives—affectionately known as ticos—on a visit to a village school.

Our Costa Rica Family Journey serves up one “wow” moment after another, blending wildlife encounters with high-octane activities like snorkeling and boogie boarding, river rafting, and riding zip line cables through the treetops. On-the-go adults who relish time to kick back and relax can trust our gregarious guides to know instinctively what kids want to see and do. 

With a dozen departure dates to choose from in 2008—including five Family Journeys—there’s sure to be a Costa Rica sojourn to fit your schedule. Give us a call at 800-200-3887, and let Classic Journeys make the colors of Costa Rica come alive for you!
