Description
Begin in the lush Central Valley at the beautiful coffee estate Finca Rosa Blanca, a charming boutique property that makes a perfect base for exploring the stunning surrounding countryside. Guests can choose from a range of outdoor activities nearby such as zip-wiring, volcano visits, nature walks and rafting or if relaxation is the order of the day then there is a lovely outdoor pool and one can take a leisurely stroll through the picturesque coffee plantations.
Then from the Central Valley, Monte Azul will be your next stop - an elegant lodge and private nature preserve set in the foothills of Mount Chirripó, a 3hr drive from San Jose. It is a firm believer of following sustainable and ecological practices and is an excellent off-the-beaten track base for a range of wonderful outdoor excursions and superb for bird watching. Originally conceived as an artist's retreat, Monte Azul hosts its own artist-in-residence program, and rooms double as galleries for their works. For guests looking for a very adventurous and demanding physical challenge then why not combine the comforts of Monte Azul with hiking up Chirripó, Costa Rica's highest peak.
Then finish at Oxygen Jungle Villas, a relaxing couples-only hillside reserve set amongst lush jungle with views out across the Pacific Ocean. Become one with nature and practise yoga and meditation with the sound of the jungle as a backdrop or for the more adventurous there are opportunities to surf, go snorkelling or scuba diving, or horse ride. There is a series of jungle trails one can follow, and for much of the year humpback whales can be seen cavorting in the ocean.
Return by road to San Jose for your overnight flight home.
