Start your adventure in Costa Rica in the vibrant capital of San José. Explore the city and sights such as the National Museum and the National Theatre and then move onto the surrounding landscapes - visit Poás Volcano and stop in a handful of idyllic villages en route before ascending to the top of the Volcano to see the blue sulphur lake in the crater. Next take a trip to the stunning Tortuguero National Park and take a boat ride through its huge network of canals that form rich veins through miles of lush forestry. Chocolate lovers should stop off at Sarapiquí to learn about the importance of chocolate to early Mayan and Aztec civilisations, before hiking along the Arenal 1968 trail, which follows the same path as the 1968 lava flow
Culture buffs should explore the treasures on display in the museums of natural history, gold, jade and art, while nature lovers should run off for a day in the Orosi River Valley.
