Excursion Overview
This full day experience offers a chance to experience both the beautiful nature and local culture of the Caribbean region. Spend time with a traditional community as well as exploring some of the stunning coast and national parks of the area, with your private guide.
Your day begins early before breakfast with a walk in Gandoca Manzanillo park to enjoy tropical forest and stunning coastal views. Return to your hotel for breakfast before heading to Cahuita park to hike to the Suarez River and for a boat ride to snorkel on the largest coral reef in the country. Enjoy lunch in Cahuita with a chance to plant a tree as well as bring donations of supplies to a local school, if you wish.
Your exploration of the Southern Caribbean Coast continues as you arrive at the BriBri Indigenous Reserve and discover their medicinal plant garden, as well as see how chocolate is made from local cacao, a product of high spiritual value to the community. After spending time with these wonderful people, if time permits, finish off your day with a visit to Quebrada dos Aguas waterfall for a refreshing dip before heading back to your hotel.

We had an amazing holiday in Costa Rica which was organised by Holiday Architects. Louise listened to what we were interested in, talked about Costa Rica and suggested places she thought we would enjoy and organised a fantastic itinerary for us which was just perfect. Everything was so well organised and went to plan without any hitches. I would highly recommend HA and would definitely use them again. Thanks Louise.

We have just returned from an amazing, stress free trip to Costa Rica. From the beginning Dawn listened to our ideas and offered first hand advice on where to visit. She gave us the confidence and support which allowed us to really enjoy our first major adventure. No question was too silly for Dawn to answer. Costa Rica is a beautiful country packed full of wildlife to explore. The people are so welcoming and hotels surpassed our dreams.
