Costa Rica 2026
Costa Rica hosts 5% of the world’s biodiversity despite covering 0.03% of the earth’s surface. Let that sink in. That means that this relatively small country in Central America is literally bursting with wildlife and natural wonders. With a vibrant and friendly culture to match, Costa Rica is truly a tropical paradise with dramatic landscapes, world-class coffee, and diversity you won’t find elsewhere on the planet. Join us for a small group trip that will deep dive into local food, coffee, and wildlife while embracing what “pura vida” really means.

Part One : Local Food & Coffee
With fertile soil and a year-round growing season, embracing local food is a given. From indulging in delightful local dishes to spending time on a local finca, we will explore how and why certain products thrive here. Our visit to one of the region’s best coffee growing regions will help us to grow a greater appreciation for this caffeinated crop.
-
Part Two : Pura Vida
Translating to “pure life,” this famous Costa Rican tagline is truly a lifestyle. We will embrace the magic of pure living as we venture to a fresh-water oasis, explore a protected marine shoreline, unwind with gentle movement, and observe awe-inspiring whale life. This part of the trip will serve as the perfect restoration before the exciting activities that lie ahead.
-
Part Three : Wildlife Wonders
We can’t really discriminate between different types of natural beauty, but we might have saved the best for last. Our exploration of the Osa Peninsula will bring us to remote beaches, world-class wildlife experiences, and active days followed by restful slumbers and epic sunrises. This part of the world leaves people changed for the better.
