This morning, we’re heading to Coop San Juan. Here we will experience life just as the locals do in this rural Costa Rican village. When we arrive, we'll get to know the families we will be staying with for the night. Once we have explored the farm and worked up an appetite, we'll be lucky enough to see a cooking demonstration from the families. Costa Rican food is 10/10. We'll also make the most of the countryside and head out on a tractor ride, cameras at the ready! As the sun goes down, we'll get competitive with a game of football and enjoy some beers around the bonfire after dinner too!

Ready for an adventure? Next up is La Fortuna, aka the "adventure capital" of Costa Rica! Once we arrive at our accommodation, we'll head for lunch to fuel up for a BIG afternoon. We're heading for a hike around the base of the Arenal Volcano, and the views are stunning! After we have taken all the photos and got our steps in, we'll end the hike at some natural hot springs! Epic right? To finish off the day, we'll head for a group dinner and reminisce about our perfect first day in La Fortuna!

Today is all about exploring La Fortuna in your own way! Your Tru Leader will have loads of options for today, so whether you are looking for a more chilled-out day or you want another adventure-packed day, they've got you sorted! In the afternoon, we'll visit a local swimming hole called El Salto before heading back to the hotel to freshen up for dinner and drinks.

We're heading to Monteverde, and it is one of the most scenic journeys you will ever take! Once we arrive in Monteverde, we'll have time to check in and explore the local area. In the later part of the afternoon, we'll head out on an evening walking tour to see the nocturnal wildlife the area has to offer. The diversity of wildlife in Costa Rica is unmatched! Sloths, armadillos, vipers, colourful tree frogs and exotic birds are a few of the animals you might be lucky enough to come across, the perfect way to spend an evening in Monteverde!

Always dreamt about flying high above the famous cloud forest? Well, today we are doing just that! Costa Rica's cloud forests are a must-visit, and ziplining is the best way to immerse ourselves in the magic. Fun fact, this is where ziplining was invented, so it's only right we travel through the canopies in style, right? After our incredible morning, we'll have a free afternoon to explore more of Monteverde before meeting for dinner!

Goodbye mountains, hello beaches! We're trading misty clouds for sandy shores as we head down to Manuel Antonio. Once we arrive, the rest of the day is yours to play with. Kick back on some of Costa Rica's most gorgeous beaches, swim in the Pacific, explore the laid-back town vibes and more!

Time to explore Manuel Antonio National Park! Your Tru leader will lead us through rainforest trails where we'll get to see some amazing wildlife! After getting our jungle fix, we'll head back to the beach to soak in some more vitamin D! Best of both worlds, right there!

All good things must come to an end, but not before one final celebration! We're heading back to San Jose after 9 incredible days. Tonight we gather for our farewell dinner. Get ready for laughs, stories, and toasts to new friends and unforgettable memories. Here's to the sloths, the sunsets, and the adventure of a lifetime in Costa Rica!

It's time to say goodbye! Our team is here to help you figure out your next move, whether that's arranging onward travel or recommending hidden gems to explore before you leave. We've got your back! See you next time!
