Territories Costa Rica Costa Rica Off The Beaten Path : Journey Highlights





Explore beyond the end of the road on an unhurried tropical adventure that takes you from wild Pacific beaches to a whitewater river in the rainforest. Your first base is an ocean-view rainforest lodge on the southern Pacific coast, with deserted beaches perfect for walking, horseback riding, and snorkeling. Your second base is a remote, riverside eco-lodge where you can bird-watch, hike, horseback ride, or explore the rainforest canopy with your local guide. Your access to the lodge includes a world-class whitewater experience on the Pacuare River. National Geographic has rated this as one of the top whitewater rivers in the world, with thrilling rapids descending through steep canyons, while waterfalls pour down lushly vegetated canyon walls. Find the true meaning of pura vida for yourself on this memorable journey.

  • Rainforest nature: Your lodges are surrounded by rainforest preserves where you can discover wildly unique and exotic birds, wildlife, trees, and plants.
  • Active fun: Swim, snorkel, horseback ride, raft, bird-watch, hike, zip-line, or go canyoning in rainforest and beach surroundings.
  • World-class rafting: Ride the remote Pacuare River through Class III and IV rapids, and past waterfalls and a natural water slide that entice you to stop and play.

Costa Rica is a hotspot for the world’s biodiversity. The country is also committed to fostering responsible travel and respect for its unique environments—making it a natural destination for Off the Beaten Path. Bill Bryan, OBP co-founder
