6) Ziplining – it’s a jungle out there!

I always thought ziplining was a very short experience, similar to a carnival ride. Instead, we literally ziplined THROUGH the jungle! 13 lines in total, leading up to a 1 km zipline! Not to mention the “Tarzan swing” option, which is a glorified bungee. Tarzan swing is a must if you get the chance.

7) DO go chasing waterfalls!

Falling water, why is it so inspiring? Who knows, but waterfalls are just epic. Especially when you can swim in them! We hiked to at least 4 in total, all unique and stunning. All equally refreshing!

8) Wait…dark coffee has less caffeine then light?

I am no coffee pro, but on my most tired mornings I reach for the dark brew. Who knew the darker bean = less caffeine! Our coffee tour cleared that up. We also saw “chameleons” & rode on a traditional ox cart!

9) Surf’s up! Jungle meets beach

After 9 days of adventure and excitement, the jungle leads us to another beach. Manuel Antonio is breathtaking and unlike any other. Surfing, relaxation and amazing seafood; yes please!

10) Bonding around bonfires

The beach is a great way to end any trip. A group that came together in a busy city became friends through epic jungle adventures. We conclude with 3 nights of beach life. Bonfires and late night ocean dances lead to sad good-byes and newfound friendships. “Pura Vida” Costa Rica! #NoRegrets.
