Random Walks - Costa Rica
Overview |
 |
Itinerary Description |
Canyoning, ziplining, white river rafting, relaxing by the beach…bonding! Decide on Central America for your Random Walks program, where you’ll be welcomed with picturesque waters and landscapes – and the aroma from the world’s best coffee beans. Costa Rica offers a combination of relaxation (soaking in hot springs and lounging on a beach) with adventure (Canyoning in La Fortuna plus everything mentioned above). Keep your eyes peeled for those suspicious squirrel monkeys at Manuel Antonio Park; they’re infamous for grabbing visitors’ sunglasses. That’ll be your only worry, leave the logistics to us! |
