Enjoy a boat ride through the stunning landscape and continue driving up into the cloud forests of Monteverde. Spend the afternoon free to wander the town on your own getting a sense of one of the rarest environments on earth. Meet back up as a group for a guided forest night walk to witness the nocturnal sights, sounds, and smells of this unique habitat.

Geführte Nachtwanderung: Begleite einen naturkundlichen Guide auf einer 1 1/2 - 2-stündigen Nachtwanderung durch den Nebelwald. Erfahre mehr über die Gewohnheiten der nächtlichen Tierwelt der Gegend, einschließlich Säugetieren, Vögeln, Insekten, Reptilien und Amphibien, und halte bei diesem langsamen Spaziergang Augen und Ohren offen.

Freizeit: Enjoy a free afternoon to become acquainted with the town of Monteverde on your own. Opt to find a fun local spot to grab some lunch either alone or with a few of your travel mates.

It’s time for a day that belongs to you! The choice really is all yours. From spending the day doing an array of optional activities available like ziplining or a hanging bridges tour, take the itinerary into your own hands. There is also an option to join your CEO for a short, easy walk through the trails of “La Raiz”, a bridge trail formed by a tree that fell, but whose roots continued to grow vertically downward. The small stream that runs underneath is responsible for washing away soil and further exposing the shape of the tree's 'skeleton'. Dinner will be at your leisure this evening.

Monteverde Me Day: Traveling solo alongside your new Solo-ish travel mates means there's always something fun to do and new friends to explore with. But the joy of travel can also be about taking time to yourself to recharge, refresh and reflect on the journey. Today, choose to join your CEO for a local activity, or take the time to yourself to enjoy your own company in one of the most incredible places on our planet.

Travel away from the misty green hills of Monteverde to the coastal lush jungle of Quepos, just outside Manuel Antonio National Park. Spend a free afternoon relaxing in this fun, lively surf town. Hit the beach, enjoy a night out, or maybe learn how to salsa. It’s all about stepping outside of those comfort zones.

: Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.

Freizeit: Enjoy free time to play in the waves, explore Quepos, or dance the night away. From kayaking to surfing, there are plenty of options to keep you entertained in such a beautiful setting.

Enter into Manuel Antonio National Park and then have the opportunity to wander through the park's landscape at your own pace. You can choose to pre-book a catamaran on the ocean, or swim in the warm waters of the Pacific. Other activities available to choose from include kayaking through the mangroves or whitewater rafting.

Besuch des Nationalparks Manuel Antonio: Packe Sonnencreme, Snacks und Strandschuhe ein und freue dich auf einen großartigen Tag in Costa Ricas kleinstem, aber atemberaubenden Nationalpark. Manuel Antonio bietet vier weiße Sandstrände, die durch zerklüftete Felsnasen und Gezeitenbecken voneinander getrennt sind. Hier kannst du nach Lust und Laune schwimmen, surfen und sonnenbaden. Begib dich danach auf schattige Wanderwege in der Nähe und halte Ausschau nach Faultieren, Affen und Gürteltieren. Steige auf den Aussichtspunkt und genieße den Ausblick auf den paradiesischen Pazifik und die Inseln vor der Küste.
