Again delighted to not have had to plan all the little details of navigating our way to destinations. We were picked up at 7am by a bus with others in it – cool we aren't alone. On our way to the Pacuare River and lodge.
The first leg of the trip was the 2.5 hour van ride. We stopped in the mountain area for another traditional breakfast. Gallo pinto, juevos, and this really yummy cheese with fresh fruit. There was a chill in the air and the fog quickly settled in.
about 45 minutes later we were dropped off and told to walk down the hill, a steep hill. At the bottom, the boats were waiting. Our things were put into waterproof bags and we donned our safety gear. The group separated into two boats and we were on our way. Cold water but super fun. A nice stop at a small waterfall. This was just a teaser though.
We arrived at the Pacuare River lodge in the early afternoon with hot chocolate and the manager awaiting us.
This place was amazing. It was a gorgeous camp for adults.
An afternoon hike into the property and another waterfall - very cold! Happy hour with all our new friends and an amazing gourmet 3-course dinner. What!
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.
