Immerse yourself in the tropical and lush green nature of Costa Rica. The country is quite small but hosts more than 250 microclimates and largely consists of tropical rainforest, tropical dry forest and cloud forests. Its biodiversity is amazing!
You will definitely be amazed by the wonders of Costa Rican nature and the diverse flora and fauna, not to forget the gorgeous beaches on both coasts. If that wasn’t enough yet, the Pura Vida lifestyle of the Costa Ricans will most definitely inspire you.

Nicaragua has a tropical climate, but in the Northern highlands it is a lot cooler. It is not without reason that the country is well-known for its coffee production. But the many volcanoes, crater lakes and the well preserved colonial history of cities like Granada and Leon, also make Nicaragua an interesting destination. Not to mention the island of Ometepe and the beautiful beaches with perfect swell for surfers.
The country has not yet been discovered by the general public: all the more reason to discover this hidden gem!
Panama is of course known for the famous Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The canal is definitely worth a visit. But did you know the country has much more to offer? Besides the capital, which is a nice blend of the old and new, the country offers two beautiful coasts with countless whitesand beaches and tropical islands! There is tropical rainforest, mountains and a very rich indigenous culture that you can experience personally.
Are you ready to discover the wonders of Panama?
Following the path of life without planning too much. Just lettings things happen and going with the flow. This philosophy is what led Dutchman Ed Smit to found Edventure Travel in 2005 without any prior experience in tourism. He just allowed for his dream to come true.
Since then, Edventure Travel has developed into a travel specialist for exclusive trips to Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua. Personal contact is very important to us. We are in direct contact with both our travellers as our suppliers. There are no unnecessary intermediates involved. That does not only make our services cheaper, but a lot more practical and fun as well!
We live and work in Costa Rica. From here we select and visit all of our destinations ourselves. We try out all the tours and experiences and we know the special hotel owner, friendly coffee farmer or passionate guide who will make the difference in your trip.
