Get ready for a journey that will show you Costa Rica in all its colors – from misty mountains to the golden beaches of the Pacific. You'll start in the natural paradise of La Fortuna, walk around the majestic Arenal volcano, bathe under a waterfall, and walk through the jungle on hanging bridges. In Monteverde, you'll experience an adrenaline rush on a zipline above the treetops and the quiet of the cloud forest, where you might even spot the legendary quetzal.

Then you'll head to the ocean – to the surfing oasis of Santa Teresa, where the days smell of salt, the sunsets will captivate you, and every evening ends with bare feet in the warm sand. And to finish? San José – the vibrant capital city, where you'll sample the local markets, culture, and a final sip of strong Costa Rican coffee. This isn't just a vacation. This is a road trip on your own wave – free, playful, full of contrasts and unforgettable experiences.

Costa Rica on Your Own Wave
Day 1–3 / 8
1

Day 1
Hello Costa Rica!

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by fresh mountain air and tranquility that will soothe your body and mind. If you have any energy left after your journey, take a short walk to the Lauraceas Garden botanical garden, where you can tune into the rhythm of nature among the moss and mountain flowers. Another option is a short hike to Mirador Savegre with a view of the valley and access to Los Pioneros National Park. A gentle start that will slowly draw you into the wild beauty of Costa Rica.

Day 2
Where the volcano is silent and the water sings

2 places
159.97 mi(5 h 39 min)

Today you'll enter a world where the raw power of the earth meets the wild beauty of the jungle. The mighty silhouette of the Arenal Volcano, towering over the landscape, and the deep green that surrounds it, await you. And just when you think you've seen it all, you'll hear a roar – the La Fortuna Waterfall arrives, cascading into an emerald lagoon as if from another world.

Day 3
A color that can't be forgotten

2 places
59.83 mi(2 h 26 min)

Today's journey takes you to one of the most magical places in all of Costa Rica: the turquoise Rio Celeste, a river that seems otherworldly. Expect a peaceful walk through a misty rainforest, the rustling of leaves, bubbling thermal springs, and a breathtaking waterfall cascading into a bright blue lagoon. Along the way, you'll cross hanging bridges suspended between trees, offering views of the jungle's green canopy and the gentle mist hovering over the river.
