Get ready to immerse yourself in the most beautiful and purest nature! Live an unforgettable adventure discovering the most fascinating corners of the country. The "Costa Rica Route and Tortuguero" will allow you to visit three of the country's biggest national parks. The most famous is Tortuguero, where (if you go between the months of July to September) you can attend a rather unique show: the nesting turtles and birth of millions of hatchlings. A truly incredible experience! But the country is not just about turtles. Hundreds of different species await you in the National Parks of Braulio Carrillo and Manuel Antonio, among which are the monkeys and sloths, and a flora that you will hardly find in other parts of the planet. Also, unique in the world is the Arenal Volcano, with its lagoon lying in the crater like a sky-blue blanket and surrounded by one of the richest ecosystems in Costa Rica. As you can see, nature is a very important part of this trip. But there is more, so much more! For example, the beautiful beaches surrounded by lush vegetation. For your holidays we have selected two of the country’s most spectacular ones: Sámara beach and Tamarindo beach. Can you just imagine relaxing in the sun on a beach that has it all; the white sand surrounded by palm trees, in front of an intense turquoise-blue water? You will also have time to explore the capital of Costa Rica at your leisure. San José will open its doors for you to walk the main streets, taste the delicious local cuisine and discover all their interesting traditions. A unique car journey will allow you to delve into this multi-coloured country and discover places far away from the tourist routes. Join in with the cheerful ticos and discover the Caribbean's colourful charm! Costa Rica is also a perfect place to enjoy relaxing in its hot springs, spas and multiple adventure activities such as the Canopy or rafting. Do not give it as second thought and come and enjoy the Pure Life!

Important remarks
- Please check with your international vaccination centre about the recommended healthcare measures in Costa Rica.
- Driving in Costa Rica: 1. Due to the country's orography, and specially in the rainy season, it is recommended to choose an all terrain vehicle for the routes that are carried out, mostly to get to Monteverde and Rincón de la Vieja since these sections are unpaved. 2. Due to the routes being slow, the average speed in open areas should be approximately 50 kph (30mph) and 40 kph ( 25 mph) in the high areas.
- If the return flights call at any points within the United States, consult the documentation necessary to make such a stopover.
- Generally in Costa Rica the accommodation in the triple rooms have two double beds or one double and one single bed and the quadruple accommodation has two double beds.
- A travel insurance with the following coverages is required: $50,000 in medical expenses and $2,000 in quarantine costs.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The return of the car must be made at the same time it was collected to avoid paying an extra day at the price of the official rate.
- A credit card is requested to rent any vehicle and pay any insurance fee or additional service.
- This is an excellent combination for touring Costa Rica, with a range of more than 30 hotels located in or near the most visited tourist destinations in the country. Most hotels are tourist-class.
- Bookings can either be made prior to arrival or during your stay, always 48 hours in advance. For bookings, please call the offices of our incoming agent or the hotel directly. Cancellations must also be made 48 hours in advance.
- The most active nesting season in Tortuguero is from July to September.
- Due to seasonal variation in the flow of the canals, on the day of departure from Tortuguero, lunch may be provided in picnic style and not en route, depending the port that will be used for the return.
- The Manuel Antonio National Park is closed on Tuesdays.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
