Hello everyone!!!!
This is Pável (I go by Pav), and I will be your Tour Director on your upcoming Explorica tour in Costa Rica. I just thought I would introduce myself and tell you how much I am looking forward to meeting you and leading your Explorica tour. We are so happy you are going to visit us in this beautiful and diverse country in Central America.
During our trip, we will have a very nice itinerary, with many cool activities and educational experiences. Some of them would be hiking among the lava flows in the Tropical Rain Forest of the Arenal Volcano. We will enjoy some water activities, like kayaking at Arenal Lake (the largest lake in the country) and relaxing at the hot springs in the Arenal Volcano slopes.
In Monteverde we will hike in the santa Elena Cloud Reserve and we will be zip lining in the Tropical Cloud Forest. Also, we will have a Horseback Riding Tour.
In the Central Pacific Coast, we will be planting tropical trees as part of a reforestation program recovering a Biological Corridor. We will see one of the typical surfing towns and beaches of Costa Rica. We will take a boat trip along the Tárcoles River, where we will spot some giant reptiles among lots of wildlife. Also, we will visit the Manuel Antonio National Park, one of its kind. The forest in this park is a mix between the Tropical Dry Forest of the north and the Tropical Rain Forest of the south of the Costa Rican Pacific Coast. We will have the chance to spot lots of wildlife, like monkeys, iguanas, coatis, boas, deer and sloth among other and many interesting plants, like mangrove trees and Heliconias.
On our way back to San José, we will see Sarchí, the Costa Rican artisan town. And we will have a Folk Evening with a dance show and live music.
Finally, we will have time for shopping, eating Costa Rican food, spending time at the beach and many others, all along with time at leisure to explore Costa Rica the way you prefer.
Thanks for traveling with Explorica!! Our team and I will do our best to bring you one of the most lasting experiences on tour you have ever done!!!
See you soon!!!!
