Trip Overview

Day 1

Enjoy your first Costa Rican dinner and beautiful sunset as you get to know your new friends. Perhaps even enjoy a refreshing beer or cocktail right on the beach.

Then we head to Manuel Antonio to settle into your hotel conveniently located minutes from the beach and the National Park.

Unwind in the pool or relax in your villa and get ready for tomorrow’s adventure.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Day 2

Arrival Manuel Antonio National Parkin Costa Rica

Start your morning exploring the jungle of Manuel Antonio National Park, one of the most beautiful and biodiverse areas in the world.

The park contains a combination of tropical forest and stunning beaches and is home to two types of sloths and three types of monkeys.

Keep an eye out for iguanas, geckos, tree frogs, deer, racoons, agoutis, and several other animals you probably won’t see anywhere else.

After a delicious mid-day meal, relax on the world famous Playa Espadilla, rated top 15 beaches in the world by TripAdvisor.

Day 3

Explore + Beach

For those of you interested in getting up early, enjoy some Costa Rican coffee and/or practice yoga on the beach. 

Then hike to a secret beach and enjoy an untouched and stunning slice of paradise. In the afternoon, you have the option to tour the local animal refuge, go zip-lining through the jungle, or explore many other hikes in the area. 

After dinner, make your way to the local bar for salsa lessons and get to know your peers over drinks in paradise.

Day 4

Costa Rican Culture

Start your day at the local farmer’s market in the nearby fishing town of Quepos. Shop for unique artisan gifts, try local fruits, cheeses, ceviche, or homemade ice cream.

In the afternoon, paddle out to the waves like a local and take an optional surf lesson.  Relax and rehydrate sipping out of a fresh coconut on the beach.

Kick off the last night watching a town soccer match or join one on the beach.  Enjoy a delicious local meal and reflect on the week’s adventures while celebrating the new relationships you’ve made.
