costa rica
february 16-23,2019
The frequent check-ins leading up to the trip, itinerary updates and reminders of what we needed for the trip were just some examples of the attention to detail this company delivered. I was going into this experience completely blindfolded, with NO research on the company or on Costa Rica, and I have to say, it COMPLETELY blew my expectations out of the water. To date, this trip is one of the best vacation I have ever been on.
Welcome to Costa Rica! With over 750,000 species of bugs, 801 miles of coastline, over 52 different hummingbirds, and 121 active volcanoes, Costa Rica is truly a paradise. Today, you'll land in San Jose (the middle of the country) and will promptly be met by one of our guides at the airport. From there, we'll group together for an early afternoon departure from San Jose. We will head to Puerto Viejo, and arrive at our accommodations at Cashew Hill Jungle Lodge just before sunset. You'll be greeted with an included welcome dinner at sunset, an optional yoga session, and plenty of time to relax!
Avg. temp in San Jose in February = 77 F / 25 C
Today you will get an inside look at some of the diverse wildlife and jungles of Puerto Viejo. With an included breakfast and lunch, you will have the option of hitting either an AM or PM yoga session at Cashew Hill, before departing to your half-day hike through the jungle. Be sure to pack some water, and get ready to observe some monkeys and sloths in their natural habitat! Your trek will be led by a local guide, who will bring you through swimming holes and waterfalls. Here you can swim, relax, and get in tune with nature. Afterwards, you will head back to Cashew Hill for an optional beach workout, and free time to explore!
Avg. temp in Puerto Viejo = 93 F / 33 C
Day three kicks off with an epic jungle trek to Cahuita National Park, just outside of Puerto Viejo. On this guided excursion you will see monkeys, sloths, anteaters, turtles, birds, and plenty of other critters. You will also encounter a plethora of plant life, such as ferns, bromeliads, huge jungle trees, and the largest living coral reef in Costa Rica. This amazing hike is 3/4 of a day long, and will introduce you to the serene environments of Costa Rica. Take some time to get unplugged, get in touch with nature, and relax at the serendipitous beaches of Playa Negra, Playa Blanca, and Puerto Vargas (all untouched beaches) before heading back to Cashew Hill and Puerto Viejo! Be sure to bring your swimsuit and tons of water!
Avg. temp in Cahuita National Park = 84 F / 28 C
Today you will visit a sloth sanctuary (tickets included) on the outskirts of Puerto Viejo, right after an optional morning yoga session and breakfast. After the tour, you will head back to Cashew Hill for an included lunch and optional beach workout! We will regroup this evening, as Tuesday Nights are big in Puerto Viejo. We will hit the town for legendary 'Taco Tuesday’ before turning in for the evening!
Avg. temp in Puerto Viejo in February = 93 F / 33 C
Everyone needs a few good beach days in their lives right? Especially after a late night out on the town. Well, today's the day!Wake up with some sunrise yoga in the morning and enjoy an included breakfast and lunch at Cashew Hill Jungle Lodge. Once that is behind us, it’s off to the beach! We'll pick a unique, private spot on the beach and will provide sea kayak's, snorkels, paddle boards, and surfboards for an all out day at the beach. You can also explore other parts of Puerto Viejo or take part in some optional activities in and around Puerto Viejo. This is an excellent time to cash in your free two-hour surf lessons!

After these jam packed first few days, you will now be able to explore Costa Rica on your own! We hope you did some research about things that may interest you in Costa Rica, because today is your day to make them happen! If you want to explore some of the things you can do, see here. Zip-lining is always a popular activity, but you may also rent a car, visit the border of Panama, or even do a boat tour from Puerto Viejo. Here is another list of optional activities you may check out as well.
Don't be afraid to head to Panama, or maybe you want to keep working on that February tan just because you can! If you are unsure of what to do, just ask your guides, or maybe some locals, and soak in their wisdom of the area. As usual, breakfast, lunch, and a yoga session are all on tap today as well.
Avg. temp in Puerto Viejo = 93 F / 33 C
Some of Latin America's best whitewater rafting is in Costa Rica, and you will experience it first-hand on your last full day here. Whether you've gone rafting or not, you will be in great hands as you hike through the mountain jungles, explore swimming holes, and make your way through the rivers and white water. We will depart Cashew Hill after having breakfast and participating in some sunrise yoga.
It's the perfect way to spend your last day on the way back to town for your flight tomorrow. Lunch is included, as well as safekeeping for all your luggage and belongings. After a whole day on the river, we will make our way back to the hotel in San Jose and get a good night's sleep while reminiscing about the trip!
Avg. temp on Pacuare River in February = 85 F / 28 C
Day 8 will be an early day, as you will depart from the hotel in the morning en route to the airport, just a few minutes away. Please book your flight for the morning (any time from 7 am through noon). Since you will already be in San Jose, the hotel will arrange transportation to the airport at the appropriate time.
You will need to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before any international flights back to the US. Thank you for joining us on our Costa Rica trip, and we can't wait to show you the photos and videos from the tour!

I was never renowned for my physical prowess. I had to work at it...and being super competitive it wasn't always easy. As a tour guide, the gym became my solace. My church. My outlet for too much booze and lack of sleep. Somehow I survived the madness of being a tour guide in Europe after college, but the key takeaway from my 2+ years there, was a life better lived through travel & fitness. Read more here...

My heart says to get a little personal on this one for plenty of reasons but I won’t bore you with too much of that. I will just hop right into it as I do get a bit long winded when writing. This will be a numbered list and my goal is to keep it short, funny, and informative of not only what I want to accomplish as a co-founder of the company VoyEdge RX but also what I hope to accomplish as a person in the near and much distant future. Strap in as this could possibly be a riveting experience.
