Highlights

    • Our Sky Walk tour includes over 2.5 kilometers of trails, and 6 suspended bridges across deep canyons at the level of the treetops – the perfect place to see the cloud forest in action.
    • A true eco-Disneyland, where adrenaline sports meets garden of Eden. From sleeping sloths to zipliners to miniature orchids only a few millimeters across, this one truly fascinating place to explore.
    • Costa Rica has over 200 identifiable volcanic formations dating back 65 years, today only a handful show activity, and we’ll be on hand from a safe distance to photograph green-blue lakes and any night-time eruptions.
    • Almost on the border of Panama, this stunning Caribbean beach hangout is far from the west coast tourist crowds, offering one of the last remaining authentic ramshackle locations on this coast. Incredible.
