From the winding network of canals in Tortuguero, to the hills of the Arenal Volcano, to the Monteverde Cloud Forest on the Continental Divide, Costa Rica offers extraordinary landscapes and unlimited biodiversity—much of which is found nowhere else on the planet.

Your expert Orbridge Expedition Leader will guide you through lush rainforests, animal refuges, and botanical reserves while providing in depth insight and history of this land aptly named “Rich Coast.”

Space is limited. With significant savings of more than $600 per couple, we anticipate this tour will fill quickly, so be certain to reserve your spot today and share this brochure with family and friends who may be interested in traveling with you.
