Experience the “pura vida” (pure life) of Costa Rica on this 7-day Costa Rica tour package, designed for the independent traveler, but without worrying about getting from one place to another. Start in the capital city of San José, a bustling metropolis surrounded by mountains. Head north to Arenal to see one of the world’s most active volcanoes, then explore the cloud forests of Monteverde. You’ll fall in love with the Costa Rican people, known as “Ticos,” who are so cheerful and easy-going that a recent Gallup poll named Costa Rica as one of the happiest places on earth.
