Teens-First Adventures: Costa Rica Unplugged

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.

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.

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.
