Costa Rica (2023)

In 2022, I returned to Costa Rica as my way to get back into travelling as the pandemic slowly waned. Omicron had cancelled a previous attempt in January 2022 and I rebooked with Intrepid for March 2022. The tour was cut short in Monteverde where we spent three days in isolation before returning to San Jose.

For this reason, I missed out on the zipline in Monteverde and the visit to Manuel Antonio National Park. I decided to return to finish that and add more. I was very lucky to find two back-to-back tours that not only encompassed what I had missed, but added on visits to Puerto Viejo and Corcovado. Continue reading “Costa Rica (2023)” →

Eldertreks: Costa Rica – Rainforest Adventure

12-28 December 2016

I had been looking at Costa Rica for some time but most of the tours I had researched were only a week long. I knew Costa Rica had more to offer, so when I saw Eldertreks‘ thirteen day adventure tour for people over fifty, I knew this was the one.

I’ve been on tours that concentrated on cultural, historical or scenic elements. This one was just plain fun. Outside of the beautiful scenery, we went ziplining, river rafting and horseback riding. We also did a couple of short hikes in the rainforest, saw a lot of wildlife, bathed in hot springs, had a lunch with a local family and much more. None of the activities were too strenuous so that anyone in reasonable health could do it all.

All the photos from this tour can be found on my flickr page.

Enjoy!
