Böëna Exclusive Package

DAY 2
Wilderness Revealed

Rise early and join your fellow Böëna adventurers for a memorable drive through history as you leave the Central Valley and pass the Spanish Colonial Capital of Cartago. You’ll stop for your first traditional Costa Rican breakfast and locally grown coffee before descending into the mountains and dense Costa Rica rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. Depending on your preference, you can either leave the road behind and embark on an unforgettable Pacuare rafting trip (over Class II, III, IV rapids) to the award-winning Pacuare Lodge or continue by road through the verdant Talamanca Mountains. Overnight at the Pacuare Lodge.

DAY 4
A River-Born Journey Into Tortuguero National Park

Today’s Costa Rica rainforest odyssey will take you and your fellow Böëna adventurers to where the road ends, and your destination, Tortuga Lodge & Gardens, is only accessible by boat or plane. Upon arrival at the Las Pavonas Dock in the Caribbean lowlands, you’ll board a covered safari-style riverboat for a 1.5-hour cruise through Costa Rica jungle-draped river canals and estuaries to the idyllic village of Tortuguero on the Costa Rica Caribbean Coast. The tranquil journey will take you through pristine river habitats of the Costa Rica national park teeming with exotic plants and animals, including caiman, manatee, turtles, monkeys, reptiles, and hundreds of bird species. Overnight in a delightful Mr. Mishake Suite at Tortuga Lodge & Gardens.

DAY 6
Birds-Eye Panorama From The Atlantic To Pacific Coast

Today’s undertaking will make you feel you’re starring in a Hollywood adventure saga. Fly over Costa Rica’s heartland panorama of dramatic forests and mountain peaks, deep emerald valleys of winding rivers, and quaint rural towns en-route to the shimmering Pacific Coast and Golfo Dulce on the Osa Peninsula (direct charter flight or two connecting flights through the San José Domestic Airport). Upon touchdown at the small port town of Puerto Jimenez – gateway to the world-renowned Corcovado National Park – you’ll be met and transported into the coastal wilderness to the Lapa Rios Rainforest Lodge. Settle into your Deluxe Bungalow overlooking the Pacific Ocean and take the afternoon to enjoy the infinity pool, spa, or partake in an exceptional onsite activity.

DAY 8
An Intimate Rainforest Refuge

At Lapa Rios, you’ll start each morning to a symphony sung by the wildlife inhabiting the treetops outside your bungalow. Delight in the steady rhythm of tree frogs, the chattering of scarlet macaws, and the harmonic melody of tanagers or spine-tingling hoots of territorial howler monkeys. When not playing in the ocean, or exploring a Costa Rica jungle waterfall in the forest, indulge in the Lodge’s award-winning farm-to-table cuisine and tone your body and soul at the horizon yoga deck or under the seasoned hands of the expert spa and massage therapists. Overnight at Lapa Rios Rainforest Lodge.

DAY 10
Mystical Monteverde In Costa Rica

Today’s adventure will take you deep into the mystical cloud forest on a guided tour. The 3,500-hectare Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve harbors 2.5% of the earth’s entire biodiversity, including flora and fauna from both the Pacific and Atlantic hemispheres. Your group will see and learn about the hundreds of plant, animal, and reptile species that inhabit the reserve, including monkeys, deer, tapir, sloth, wild cats, snakes, and countless birds such as the beautiful, resplendent Quetzal. Take the afternoon to enjoy the exquisite lodge and solar-heated infinity pool or explore the charming towns of Monteverde and Santa Elena. Overnight at your cloud forest lodge, Monteverde.
