COSTA RICA- A WORLD OF NATURE & SPA STAY

January 14-25, 2020- COLLETTE VACATIONS

Day 1: San Jose, Costa Rica - Tour Begins Pura Vida. In English, it translates to “the simple life.” But pura vida is so much more: it’s an attitude; a celebration of life in the moment. It’s time to experience what pura vida means to you. You’re on your way to explore a place that’s unlike anywhere else in the world, where pura vida is an unofficial motto and a way of life. Welcome to the emerald of Central America: Costa Rica. Day 2: San Jose - Tortuguero National Park Seemingly endless mountain horizons. Complex evergreen forests. These are the wonders of Tortuguero National Park. Head down the rivers and canals to the world’s first sea turtle research station and go behind the curtain of this jungle paradise. Later, get away from it all and relax at your incredible lodge, an oasis in the middle of the jungle. Let the monkeys lull you to sleep as lush rainforest and wildlife surrounds you. Today breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included.

Day 3: Tortuguero National Park Begin the day on an excursion to spot the elusive green macaw and other unique winged creatures that flock to

Tortuguero. If you’ve ever wondered what life was like on the other side of a rainforest’s lush green walls, a nature cruise through the park is your special

glimpse. To float on these waters is to live a day in the life of the jaguars, manatees, ocelots, and more. Today breakfast, lunch and dinner will be

included.

Day 4: Tortuguero National Park - San Carlos Cut through the mists of the rainforest on a languid boat ride towards Sarapiquí and Tirimbina

Rainforest Center. On land, an experience for the senses awaits at a cacao plantation. Observe the process of converting this magical seed from bean

to bar, and taste for yourself why cacao is called “food of the gods.” Later, arrive at your secluded nature resort, nestled on the edge of the San Carlos

River. Stroll the butterfly and botanical gardens lined with fruit trees, including lemon, soursop, guava, mango and tangerine. Today breakfast, lunch and

dinner will be included.

Day 5: San Carlos Explore the beauty of your surroundings on a Peñas Blancas River Safari. Paddle and float down the river on a peaceful adventure,

taking in the sights and sounds of the rainforest as your naturalist guide explains the rich wildlife. Visit the farm of a local family and try specialty snacks

such as banana bread, Costa Rican gourmet coffee and more. Then, it’s your choice! Continue to explore the rich landscape on horseback -OR-

participate on a guided walk through a private, primary forest reserve. Either way, learn about the various flora and fauna that populate the trails and

hear how the native species interact in this rich ecosystem. Today breakfast and dinner will be included.

Day 6: San Carlos - Finca Don Juan - Hanging Bridges - Arenal Envelop yourself in Costa Rican culture at Finca Don Juan. Explore the family-

owned farm during an educational tour of its vegetable and fruit gardens, organically grown through the concept of sustainability. Taste some of their

exotic fruit harvest and experience the traditional way to process sugar cane. Enjoy a sip of cane liquor and conclude your visit with a cooking

demonstration followed by a farm-to-table lunch. Later, suspended over the rainforest floor, relish in a birds-eye view of the jungle on a guided tour of

Arenal’s famous hanging bridges. High above the jungle canopies, marvel at a cloud forest taking shape around you. Settle into your resort where you’ll

be surrounded by striking views of Arenal’s famous volcano for the next three nights. Today breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included.

Day 7: Arenal Today, it’s your choice! Since Costa Rica is the birthplace of zip lining, glide over the canopies on a mind-blowing rip through the jungle

-OR- make your way across lava fields for an up-close-and-personal look at the volcano on a moderate hike along the trails formed by lava during the

1968 eruption. The afternoon is at leisure to discover the town of La Fortuna or the naturally heated pools of the hotel. Today breakfast and dinner will

be included.

Day 8: Arenal The Arenal Volcano goes by many names: Pan de Azúcar, Canaste, Volcán Costa Rica. Ultimately, it can be translated to a single

declaration: extraordinary. In the shadow of this famous monolith, the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure. If you’re feeling adventurous, opt for the Cano

Negro Wildlife Refuge cruise or an exhilarating white water rafting experience.* Or, simply hang back at the resort, opt for a spa service, explore the

grounds, and soak in one of Arenal’s famous hot springs. Today breakfast will be included.

Day 9: Arenal Volcano - Tarcoles - Manuel Antonio National Park Rendezvous with wild crocodiles among the remarkable mangroves of Tarcoles’

Rio Grande. On this exhilarating jungle crocodile safari, you’ll float along beneath the towering jungle, looking just below the water’s surface for a

glimpse of these incredible creatures. This afternoon, check in to your resort, located just outside Manuel Antonio National Park. Before dinner, watch

the sun set over the Pacific alongside birds in every color of the rainbow. Today breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included.

Day 10: Manuel Antonio National Park Welcome to the jungle, a truly remote experience with nothing around you except the wonders of Manuel

Antonio National Park.** The rich idyll of rugged rainforests and white sand beaches is the definition of untouched beauty. In this natural wonderland,

traverse the trails where the wild things are, or go for a swim in the turquoise waters of a beach as wildlife rummages in the canopies. Today breakfast

will be included.

Day 11: Manuel Antonio National Park - Coffee Plantation - San Jose This morning, wake up and smell the coffee at a local coffee farm that

produces some of Costa Rica’s well-known beans. Then say goodbye to the coast and hello to San Jose. Toast to the pura vida of Costa Rica tonight

over a farewell dinner. Today breakfast and dinner will be included. Day 12: San Jose - Tour Ends Your tour comes to an end today. Today breakfast

will be included

You’ll get a behind the scenes look at the world’s largest fleet of carnival floats and see everything that goes into making Mardi Gras such an international phenomenon. Later, experience the fun and festivities of a Mardi Gras parade and cheer on the “Krewes” who sponsor the floats.

you reach the shore. Shorebirds as well as herons, lava gulls and boobies are also found here. While snorkeling, one can often see sharks, rays

and barracuda. Meals: B, L, D

DAY 4 – Egas Port (Santiago Island) /Rabida Island This morning, visit the fourth largest island in the Galápagos, Santiago Island. It provides spectacular views of powerful volcanic activity. A

wet landing brings you to Egas Port, a black volcanic sand beach, visited by Darwin in 1835. The unique, truly striking layered terrain of the

Santiago shore is home to a variety of animals including the bizarre yellowcrowned night heron and marine wildlife including lobster, starfish

and marine iguanas grazing on algae beds alongside Sally light-foot crabs. You may also see colonies of endemic fur seals swimming in cool-

water volcanic rock pools The afternoon’s adventure is on Rabida Island. Lying at the heart of the archipelago, this dramatic island, with its

distinctive redsand beach, is home to sea lions, mockingbirds, finches, endemic Galápagos doves and vermillion flycatchers. A walk takes us

through a forest of palo santo and cacti to a beautiful overview of the bay. Snorkeling here can be excellent, often with large schools of black-

striped salemas, sea lions and the ubiquitous turtles. Meals: B, L, D

DAY 5 – Urbina Bay and Tagus Cove (Isabela Island) Start your day with a wet landing on thebeach at Urbina Bay. In 1954, a volcano uplifted the coral reef, leaving marine skeletons that tell of

its ancient past. Look for Darwin’s finches, land iguanas and the Galápagos cotton flower in bloom. Outstanding snorkeling awaits in the

crystal clear waters, showcasing fascinating marine life. Amazing views of the Alcedo Volcano, which spewed an unusual combination of

rhyolite and basalt lava, stands as a powerful backdrop and reminder of nature’s power. This afternoon, visit Tagus Cove – a wellknown

hideout and deep-water anchorage in the days of pirates. It was also one of the few sites visited by Charles Darwin and the HMS Beagle in

looking for food. Snorkel along the submerged wall with turtles, native fish and penguins. Meals: B, L, D

pristine island ecosystems as you hike through a thick canopy of mangroves. Observe hundreds of prehistoric marine iguanas sunbathing on

black lava rocks. All around are Galápagos penguins, pelicans, sea lions and fur seals, ready to pose for pictures. Quiet now as you encounter

flightless cormorants on their nesting site, the only place in the world to find this species. These birds once flew, but over time, adapted to

their environment and lost their ability to fly. Be on the lookout for the major predator on the island, the Galápagos hawk. This afternoon,

visit Vicente Roca Point. This is a marine-only visitor site with great opportunities for deep-water snorkeling. See plenty of red-lipped

batfish, sea horses, frogfish, marine turtles, sunfish, nudibranchs and octopi in these waters. Meals: B, L, D

birds - tree and ground finches, vermillion flycatchers, paintbilled crakes, yellow warblers and cattle egrets (usually standing on the tortoises’

shell!) make this their home, while the Galápagos giant tortoises are also seen meandering through pastures in their natural habitat. Continue

upriver to the Great Salt Lake is easy. Simply let the gentle ocean currents be your guide. We’ll arrive at the island’s largest Salt Lake, where exploration of

the tranquil beauty is compulsory. Your guides will entertain with legends of the area and tales of the Fijian god of the ocean, who guards the lake

The Mara thrives in the same ecosystem as the Serengeti and plays host to one of the greatest natural spectacles on the planet: the annual wildebeest migration. This is truly nature’s greatest theater, where savanna, cloud shadows and amazing wildlife spot the horizon. During a picnic stop, take in the vast landscape and discover for yourself why the ancestors described this place as Mara, meaning “spotted” in Maa.

Take to the plains for an afternoon game drive in the breathtaking aura of snowcapped Mt. Kilimanjaro. Today breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included. Day 13: Amboseli National Park All of Amboseli is at your feet today during morning and afternoon game drives. Derived from the Masai word meaning “salty dust,” this unique corner of Kenya is one of the best places in Africa to see hundreds of elephants up close. Wildebeests and zebras are ever-present, plus there’s a good chance you’ll see a cheetah and a hyena or two. Today is your last full day on the continent and your last chance to spot some more members of the elusive “Big 5.” If you haven’t tossed your “seedball” into the wilds yet, now’s your chance to make an impact on the continent you’ve grown to love.
