Costa Rica Travel Photo Collection

A fun and fantastic adventure searching for and finding orchids in Costa Rica's central volcanic valley and beaches.

Costa Rica translated means "rich coast" and for our family adventure it was priceless. Sharing experiences and discoveries in the mountains, jungles, and beaches, made memories that will truly last a lifetime.

I took my animal loving, adventurous, learning-thirsty son to Costa Rica for a week this summer -- we had the time of our lives. Most of the time we were too busy living our adventures to stop and take a picture -- a night hike through the rainforest with sloths, tarantulas, and vipers, watching giant sea turtles lay eggs, a boat safari, river rafting -- but from the photos I did manage to take, you can see plainly the joy this trip brought to my delightful boy.

My husband and I went on a Costa Rica tour with Adventure Life this fall. We experienced first class Eco-tourism at its best - great accommodations, helpful staff, yummy local food and plenty of activities!

Read through Earl Rogers daily account of his Adventure Pacifica Tour in Costa Rica. After spending time volunteering aboard a naval ship, he relaxed on this Costa Rica tour to appreciate and enjoy the local culture and wildlife.

I learned so much about this beautiful country, not just about the wildlife, and plants, but maybe most importantly about respect and passion for where you are from. Will I come back for another Costa Rica Tour again? Already working with Adventure Life on my next trip. They have a saying in this country: Pura Vida ( Life is good). So really thats all I can say right now Pura Vida!!!!!!!!

Costa Rica Tour - Turtles and Rainforest, 28 May - 4 June 2005: Ken and Wendy Keaton and Amy Litos. This was one of The Great Vacations! We made new discoveries and new friends every day. Everyone we met was delightful, and Adventure Life's organization ran without a flaw. Thanks to all involved!

Our Costa Rica Quest journey was quite varied and one to remember always. Leatherbacks, Monkeys, and birds...oh my!

I went on a Costa Rica Quest with my family and thought I was just in for a nice vacation. Instead, I was surprised to rediscover - with my kids - the pure joy and wonder of exploration and adventure from my childhood.

We toured with Adventure Life and took the Adventure Pacifica tour. We had a great adventure, met lots of people and stayed in the very nice hotels. Costa Rica is a country rich with diversity, lending interest, education and adventure to all.
