Corcovado has been referred to as "the most biologically intense place on the planet" by National Geographic and it certainly isn't hard to see why. We spent several water logged days on the Osa Peninsula just a ten minute walk for the park. Though it poured rain the entire time we were there, I was pleased to find that the wildlife was not lacking when we went for our early morning hike. I can only imagine the incredible wildlife we would have found under more dry circumstances!

Our guide took us weaving through the trails and vines. It poured rain but was still warm out so we hiked in our tank tops and relished the cool drops. The scenery was incredible with dramatic ocean views and incredible undergrowth of flowers and vines. Our guide told us about how just 50 years ago most of this National Park have been a clear cut to make way for settlers in the region. Hard to believe considering the size of the trees in this secondary jungle. Spider Monkey in Corcovado National Park (Jessica Liles)
Our hike did not take us as far as most travelers as we ran into a raging river barely a mile into the hike. We did watch some intrepid backpackers on their way into the heart of the park cross without too much incident but figured we shouldn't push our luck as the river would only swell in size as the rain went on.

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.
