Costa Rica packs an extraordinary range of ecosystems into a country smaller than West Virginia, and this eight-day small-group tour moves through four of them in sequence — Caribbean lowland jungle, active volcanic highland, cloud forest, and Pacific coastal rainforest. That progression is the through-line. By the time your group reaches Manuel Antonio on Day 7, students have a lived, comparative sense of how altitude, rainfall, and geography shape everything from the tree canopy overhead to the wildlife below it. No two mornings look the same on this itinerary, and that contrast is precisely the point.
