Puerto Viejo

We’ll wake up early and head straight to our first run of the week, which is a great introduction to Costa Rica. We’ll get you right into the jungle trails and have you finishing at our jungle retreat stay with fruit and swimming before lunch.

In the evening, you'll have a choice of local tours and then a delicious Costa Rican meal.

Whitewater rafting in Sarapiqui

Today is a day of contrasts. After breakfast, we’ll head to our run for the day which will take you through 3 distinct areas.

First we’ll run through the countryside houses around Chilamate, after which we’ll get more remote as we get off the beaten path running through fields greener than you can imagine. The run then heads back into the rainforest canopy before finishing at the Sarapiqui River where we’ll relax and have a catered lunch.

After lunch it’s river rafting time! Seeing the jungle from the water adds an entirely different element to your experience. For those who don’t want to go rafting...we'll have expert bird-watching guides who can walk you through the forest to see and hear some of the local birds.

We’ll end the day with dinner back at the restaurant at our hotel.

Laguna Hule

This is a highlight of the trip! Our run will take you around dormant volcano craters that have filled up with water and are now lagoons. When we scouted this trail, we saw so much wildlife- Howler Monkeys, White Faced Capuchins, Coatis, Toucans, etc.

After our run we’ll finish our drive for the day to the area of La Fortuna where we will eat lunch and then take you to the magnificent La Fortuna Waterfall, which is what all other jungle waterfalls aspire to be.

For dinner, you are free to explore La Fortuna with your new best friends from the trip.

Volcanoes and jungle zip-lining

Wake up this morning and look outside to glimpse the towering Arenal volcano in the distance. That's where we run today! We'll  run through grassy, rolling countryside at the base of Arenal before cooling off with a fast-paced jungle zip-line. Feel the wind in your hair as we glide surrounded the jungle canopy.

Next is a filling BBQ lunch and our afternoon activity: a visit to La Fortuna waterfall or the area's natural hot springs. At either destination you'll get a chance to slip off your shoes and spend some time in the water. Today was an adrenaline packed day, so tonight will be open. Head into town to find dinner with friends or enjoy a night at the hotel.

Piedra De Fuego and crocodile tour

Today, we make our way from the inland rainforest to the arid Pacific coast and beaches. Our run follows a singletrack trail through the forest of the Piedra de Fuego preserve. Then, we continue our run through productive coffee plantations which offer breathtaking views of the whole area.

Lunch will be at the finish line and then it's off on a crocodile tour via boat to cool down and see some incredible wildlife. We’ll finish our drive down to Punta Leona, the beach side resort where we will be for the next two nights (make sure to look up in the canopy of our resort for the Scarlet Macaws!).

Dinner will be on your own tonight as you explore local haunts in town.

Canoeing at Guacalillo Cliffs

Our final run of the trip! We'll wake up early because our run will take you through very different terrain than you have seen so far on our trip. We will finish our run along two sets of cliffs overlooking the ocean as we take in everything that Costa Rica has offered us over the past week.

After the run, we’ll have some snacks before we head out to have some fun with our last activity, outrigger canoeing! We will have lunch first and then get out on the water

We’ll head back to the hotel where you’ll have the rest of the day to enjoy the beach and ocean; go snorkeling in the turquoise water or just hang out on the beach and relax. Tonight we'll have our closing ceremonies for the trip where we look back on the memories we’ve made with new and old friends alike. (Also, optional karaoke.)

Beach day

We’ll spend a lazy morning at the end of our trip eating breakfast, lounging around the pool, and soaking in the warm sun on the beach. You can go exploring in Jaco and get some last minute Costa Rica snacks or ice cream at Pops. There is even a rumor that the event director will take you surfing (we’re not sure if this rumor is true, only the ocean knows for sure).

Dinner will be on your own as you have free time to walk the shores and watch the sunset at a beach-side restaurant.

Depart from San José

All good things must come to an end - until the next adventure, that is! All will depart from our hotel to the airport via shuttle, bus, or a taxi to the airport.
