A tour package specialized in adventure travel, nature tours, whitewater rafting, kayaking and Canopy tour. Enjoy the Caribbean coast with a Rastafarian culture, combining the magestic of the spectacular active volcano in Costa Rica and the white sand beaches backed by an evergreen forest of Manuel Antonio.
This humid zone is notable for its Caribbean predominantly Jamaican roots, reflected in Rastafarian culture and spicy cuisine. The southern village of Cahuita and Puerto Viejo draw the surfing, backpacking, and tie-dye crowd seeking an offbeat cultural immersion and laid-back lifestyle. Most visitors settle in for a while and break their lassitude with spells to go snorkeling, ride horses, trek into remote Indian reserves, or gawk at the animals and birds in easily accessed Cahuita National Park.
