Swing through the jungle
Where Costa Rica tour Monkeys, Jungles and Volcanoes by Trafalgar
If you’re crazy about spotting wildlife in nature, then get ready to go mad for Costa Rica on this eight-day, three-city mix of people- and animalwatching. Spend two nights in San José’s Tortuguero National Park, a protected wilderness area on the Caribbean coast. Home to six species of sea turtles, kids will delight in watching hatchlings race to the shore and learning about preservation efforts. Explore the park’s lush waterways on a day cruise but forget the lions, tigers and bears; you’ll be “Oh my”-ing at sloths, green iguanas, caimans, crocodiles, toucans and spider monkeys. Then it's time to discover Mother Nature’s geothermic creations in Arenal Volcano National Park, home to its namesake Arenal Volcano. Walk through old lava flows before ziplining through the jungle canopy, where you’ll come face to face with the exotic animals of the rainforest. Finish off by kicking back on the beach at Manuel Antonio National Park, home to 184 different species of bird. trafalgar.com
