Costa Rica is so densely packed with wonder that we decided to focus short break tours on different aspects. We want to go granular, to give adventurers a chance to really immerse themselves in these smaller areas and really get to know them. 

Monteverde Cloud Forest, even the name evokes a mystery and beauty that drives people to want to go, but actually being there beggars belief. The other side of Monteverde is the incredible way that humans have come to coexist with nature and we wanted to showcase this incredible template for how we can come to transform our world for the better. Not only are you going to return from this trip with about a million incredible photos and a deep love for the Costa Rican way of life, but you will be brimming with ideas on how to change your lifestyle to be better for the environment without having to make too much of an impact on your everyday life. A feast for all your senses, food for your brain and a big hug for the planet, sounds like the perfect escape to us. 

Monteverde Cloud Forest is a spectacular area of natural beauty and enchanting wildlife and we want to immerse you in it for five exciting days. You will be in the hands of your private driver/guide as soon as you arrive at San José airport. They will take you on a delightful two and a half-hour transfer through some incredible landscapes to arrive in the glorious town of Monteverde. Each day your guide will take you where you need to go, before taking you back up to San José at the end of the trip. 

We have selected the beautiful Cloud Forest Lodge for your stay in Monteverde. This well-appointed hotel offers the perfect combination of isolating yourself in nature and staying close to all Monteverde´s bountiful facilities.
