Costa Rica Travel and Vacation

Visitor Information


A jungle adventure is waiting for you as you hike through 165 acres of private reserve nestled by thousands of acres of wild rainforest. Before reaching the local waterfall for an energizing swim, the guided tour will take you on trails leading to amazing discoveries in one of the World’s most biologically diverse places. Your guide will help you learn about the plants, insects, animals and 275 species of birds that call Golfo Dulce home. Under a near endless canopy of trees you will be introduced to the unique role each creature plays in the rainforest ecosystem. After your eco-discovery hike you can let your mind wonder through the rainforest while you sit in a fresh pool of mountain water under a rushing but friendly waterfall.

    Okay, I’ve posted a few questions here today and so far I’ve made up my mind as to what I want to do in Costa Rica. Since my travel time is rather limited – 5 days. I would like to see the best rainforest if possible, and to join a fishing trip. Can anyone tell me where I can get the best deal on both and where to stay. My main concern is my budget. I’ve looked into a few CR fishing trips and they cost a ton, somewhere in the $700 USD range? This is outragously high! Is this possible? I’m not looking into something fancy at all just a ordinary fishing trip. So to sum it all up, where I should stay to cut down my travel time and at the same time be able to do both and still have time to see more? How far is San jose to Quepos? I’ve found tons of great hotel deal in San Jose but don’t know how difficult to go from SJ to Quepos. Some day Quepos is the best and SJ for more for business travelers? I have 5 days 4 night. Please help!
