Pura Vida: San José, Tortuguero & La Fortuna
A week-long Pura Vida journey from the heart of San José to the wild canals of Tortuguero and the volcanic hot springs of La Fortuna.
Experience the essence of Costa Rica on this seven-day adventure linking three of the country's most iconic regions. Begin in the vibrant capital of San José with a guided city tour through its historic plazas, the National Theatre, the Gold and Jade museums, and bustling avenues. Travel by comfortable coach and riverboat to remote Tortuguero, where two full-board nights let you explore the famous canals, walk the rainforest trails, visit the village and the Sea Turtle Museum, and relax on the beach.
The journey continues to La Fortuna at the foot of the Arenal Volcano, where natural thermal waters become a healing open-air spa. With two nights here, you can unwind in the volcanic springs or add optional adventures such as ziplining, ATV tours, canyoning, hanging-bridge walks and more. Throughout the trip you stay in a 4-star hotel with daily breakfast, and all transfers are included from start to finish.
