This Green Circle Experience takes you from the bustling capital city of San Jose right into the heart of nature. As soon as you leave the busy city behind, you will be surrounded by endless green flora and fauna. Stay in a school bus just steps away from a secluded Caribbean beach. The Caribbean is the place where the jungle meets the ocean, but believe us, this is just the beginning.

You visit three more destinations where you will be surrounded by the tropical rainforest as far as the eye can see. Not only are the lodges tucked away in nature, but they also do their part to preserve it as well. Both Selva Bananito and Maquenque Ecolodge have projects to educate local people about preservation.

During this tour, you will visit the best of Costa Rica. See some great spots like the famous Arenal volcano and the evergreen cloud forest of Monteverde. And the great things, we do it sustainably. Close to the Arenal volcano you will be staying at Rancho Margot. This working organic farm and luxury lodge is located in one of the greenest spots of the area and provides not only sustainable but also holistic lodging.

After a couple of days, you take the ferry to the small beach town of Montezuma before you head further south. Stay at one of Costa Rica’s greatest examples of a true ecolodge, Macaw Lodge. In your last days, you will be surrounded by nothing but endless jungle and howler monkeys before you head back home.

Congratulations! You will be visiting all of our Green Circle Member hotels. Not only will you be staying in the most sustainable hotels in the country. This tour will show you (literally) all sides of Costa Rica. From a recycled school bus in a cozy small town on the Caribbean side to a well-preserved private reserve near the border with Nicaragua.

And from a sustainable self-providing ranch to a safari tent surrounded by nothing but rainforest and monkeys.

By choosing this tour, you not only travel environmentally friendly, but you also help to preserve and protect Costa Rica’s incredible nature. When you book this tour we can keep on working to keep Costa Rica even more sustainable.
