No trip to Costa Rica is complete (at least for me) without a jaunt into the Cloudforest. Unfortunately, we decided to travel in October which is the end of rainy season. Rainy season + cloudforest = massive downpours. We still had a ton of fun, but our walk from our hotel downtown to dinner was less than spectacular. Fortunately, the next morning was clear as we headed off for a canopy tour.
The canopy walkways are essentially suspension bridges at various heights over the forest floor. They allow you to get up into the higher part of the canopy where most wildlife actually live. Making it easier to spot them from a closer vantage point.
Monteverde is an excellent place to do a canopy walk, but it's also an incredible place to do an early morning hike in the reserve. Wildlife are most active just before and after sunrise and sunset. It makes for long days, but definitely worth while if you are a nature lover!
Adventure Life took care of everything! All we had to do was show up when we were supposed to, which made our first trip to Costa Rica largely stress-free and incredibly fun. Our trip reps, Hannah and Mariethony, were helpful and responsive, getting back to us by email usually within a few hours. Our accommodations were all great, and we got incredibly blessed with some absolutely stellar guides and drivers.
Our Jungle & Beach trip was an excellent balance of adventure and rest. We got to try out a lot of different activities, including snorkeling, hiking, white water rafting and kayaking, while also partaking of some rest around the pool or by the ocean. We enjoyed seeing and exploring the beautiful Caribbean side of the country.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.

COSTA RICA a trip of a life time travelling round this beautiful country. All went like clockwork even when the weather was against us and all transfers seemed to be part of the holiday not a chore. Would definitely use Adventure Life again having previously used them 20 years ago!!

Our Costa Rica trip was amazing! Kassandra planned everything and the excursions, hotels, overall organization were outstanding. Everything worked out smoothly, the excursions guides were knowledgeable allowing us to see so much of the fauna and flora of the country. The hotels were great as well, all in fantastic locations and with beautiful views.
