Our small group trip to Costa Rica caters to travelers in their 20s and 30s searching for lush jungles in Rincon de la Vieja, surfer's paradise in Tamarindo, and golden strips of secluded Pacific beaches. You'll find friendly, laid-back Ticos and Ticas all along the way on this five-day adventure as you unwind in some of the most pristine wilderness Central America has to offer. Expect to spend a lot of time out on the water, whether you're riding the waves, lounging in balmy seas, or soaking up sizzling hot springs. Add on a bit of canyoning, some jungle zip-lines, and beachside laughs, and yeah, it's an all-around good time. By the end, you'll have a pretty good idea of what the Pura Vida is all about.

About Costa RicaLocated in Central America, Costa Rica is a popular destination for those who are traveling to a Latin American country for the first time, as it is known to be extremely safe and many locals also speak some level of English. Ecotourism also draws in people who love nature and the outdoors. This beautiful country is known for its lush jungles, surf towns, numerous waterfalls, coffee and chocolate plantations and of course, the amazing and relaxed approach to life that the locals embrace - the "pura vida" or the "pure life." You might hear this term used commonly as a greeting or farewell, to serve as a reminder to stop and savor the little pleasures of life! If it's not the natural environment, it's the food; if it's not the food, it's the people. Whatever it might be, you are bound to fall in love with many of things (if not all!) that Costa Rica has to offer. GOOD TO KNOW
