Welcome to our tours page of Costa Rica. You are about to set foot in one of the world’s most beautiful ecological gems. The land which Christopher Columbus named the “rich coast” is now seen as one of the safest and most progressive countries in South America. The only thing to be found in Costa Rica is the Pura Vida (literally “pure life”), an optimistic zest for life in all circumstances… The Costa Ricans (or Ticos for insiders) are constantly cheerful and welcoming to visitors! Costa Rica was also the first nation in the world to dissolve its army, a testament to their commitment to peace and prosperity above all else. It is regularly classed as one of the top countries for standards of living, and has a remarkable development model that prioritizes education, health care and protection of the environment. If you are a nature lover, you will find yourself in heaven… Costa Rica is a pioneering country in the field of ecotourism, and has an extremely rich biodiversity. Several unique species can be found in some of the country’s 33 national parks and reserves: no less than 25% of the Costa Rican territory is protected! To visit Costa Rica is to discover a wild paradise in which people are truly happy – what more could you want?

I'd always wanted to spend a few days living with an indigenous tribe. And when the time came, it happened in Costa Rica. It was in the Yorkin Indigenous Rerserve, a project run by women in the canton of Talamanca, that I finally had the chance to live this dream. It took several hours to reach the reserve, which is on the Costa Rican/Panamanian divide. It starts by bus and then by dugout canoe, which gives you an amazing view of the journey and has a mesmerizing ambience. We felt cut off from the rest of the world and completely in tune with the nature around us. When we arrived, the tribe's women gave us a warm welcome and showed us to our 'rooms' - simple, bamboo huts and, of course, no electricity! That was just the beginning of our adventure... I really enjoyed the weekend that I spent with them; the environment in which they live and the opportunity to take part in their daily lives. They're lovely people who like sharing with others. During this unforgettable weekend, as well as making new friends, I used a bow and arrow, wove a thatched roof, showered in the dark and hiked through the jungle, day and night. I got soaked, covered in mud and l learned a lot about medicinal plants, their indigenous history and their fight to preserve their community. What's more I got to eat REAL chocolate! Raw cacao, which is really good for you, tastes nothing like what we're used to eating. This was a genuine 'human' experience that everyone should try once in their life, so why not do so here in Costa Rica?
