Costa Rica Coast to Coast rainforest trek – February or
November 2011/2012
Costa Rica has a huge variety of landscapes, climates and
environments and it is home to five per cent of the planet's
biodiversity. From palm tree-lined tropical beaches to smoking
volcanoes, cloud forest, rainforest and mangrove swamps – it all
awaits you in Costa Rica.
This coast to coast challenge is an adventurous journey on foot
and by raft from the Pacific to the Caribbean Coast. Our route
takes us from traditional farming communities through coffee
plantations and oak forests, deep into cloudforest and dense
tropical rainforest, serenaded by howler monkeys and exotic bird
calls. You will take in one of the country’s highest volcanoes
before the challenge ends with an unforgettable journey by raft and
boat to a beautiful tropical beach. This is a challenging trip
through remote and rarely-visited regions. The terrain is tough
with some hard climbs but the rewards are immense!
