Brief
description of tour : The Ecoadventure Tour is the most natural
way to experience the beauty of Costa Rica while actively participating
in some wonderful soft adventure sports. We will visit wilderness
areas at the same time as we enjoy various sports and Ecoadventures,
all in full contact with nature. This recreational and educational
journey will submerge you into the great diversity of natural
activities available in Costa Rica, making the wildlife observation
an album of experiences not soon to be forgotten. We will use
a series of modest and cozy lodges across the country. They reflect
the costarican charm for what "Ticos" are worldwide known for.
