  • Trek through coffee plantations and dense tropical rainforest

  • Visit Irazu, Costa Rica's highest volcano (3,432m)

The challenge includes an exhilerating two day rafting section of the Pacuare River, taking on rapids up to grade IV.  Take in views of the Caribbean lowlands with the rainforest slowly giving way to ubiquitous banana plantations.

You will trek through coffee plantations, indigenous communites and dense rainforests. Take on some challenging ascents reaching incredible viewpoints of the pacific ocean and verdant patches of jungle, with incredible views of the rainforest, experiencing first-hand the amazing biodiversity and natural beauty of Costa Rica.

As you make your way downstream the vivid colours of the exotic birds make the old growth forest flash with life, with many species of kingfishers and Toucans.

The challenge will test you physically but this is the most incredible way to experience Costa Rica - world-renowned for its abundance of rainforests, cloud forests, jungles and volcanoes.
