Teens-First Adventures: Costa Rica Unplugged

Grab handfuls of warm volcanic mud and turn yourselves into walking works of art at Rio Perdido’s hot river pool. Creative, messy, and the best group selfies of the whole journey.

Over a mile of white water tubing through rapids, natural chutes, and bubbling pools surrounded by wild canyon cliffs with howler monkeys overhead and the chance to spot rare prehensile-tailed porcupines.

Horseback riding through wildlife-filled trails with a real Guanacastecan cowboy, cattle herding from the saddle, traditional cooking workshop, and a firewood-cooked Sabanero lunch at a working hacienda.

A next-level challenge course through Rio Blanco canyon. Fifteen platforms, five ziplines up to 800 feet, a 50-foot Tarzan Swing, 90-foot hanging bridge, and four Via Ferrata climbing routes on carbon fibre cables.

Costa Rica´s Pacific Coast is a great destination for anyone who wants to learn how to surf. You´ll experience the best surf sessions in unforgettable warm waves and a team of local pro surfers as your coaches and guides

The Andaz Peninsula Papagayo is a fantastic beach resort set on the beautiful Papagayo Peninsula in northern Costa Rica with fabulous views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding tropical forest. The Andaz is a great choice for both couples and families.

Rio Perdido, meaning 'lost river', is located in Guanacaste province, among rare dwarf-forest, just south of the imposing Miravalles Volcano. The unique centrepiece of the private reserve is the river gorge itself, which offers naturally hot springs.
