In Monteverde, visitors will see the real real Costa Rica; lush, green and full of life. Have your camera ready for the day trip hiking through the Monteverde Cloud Forest and visiting the protected amphibians at the Frog Pond. The kids won’t be the only ones ‘monkeying around’ upon arrival in Manuel Antonio. In the local national park, travelers will spot all kinds of wildlife – everything from playful primates to colorful toucans Land costs for adults are $1,400 per person.

If adventurers are looking for a quick getaway that won’t break the bank they can journey on the Costa Rican Classic or the Jungle at its Best trips. The Classic trip will take visitors through the internal area of Arenal for rainforest exploration and relaxing in the hot springs by the volcano. Then jaunt off to Manuel Antonio to on the Pacific Ocean to enjoy some surf, sand and sun. Based on double occupancy, Horizontes is offering a 2-for-1 deal that will only cost the pair of travelers $999. Alternatively, the Jungle at its Best visits the infamous Tortuguero. Travelers can explore the wetlands of this north-eastern Costa Rican destination and can relax on the same Caribbean beaches that sea turtles nest in late summer. This itinerary will head to Arenal after exploring a bit of the east coast. Visitors can cap off their trip with breathtaking views on the Sky Tram or taking a dip in the Ecotermales Hot Springs. For this 6-day itinerary, Horizontes is offering a $300 discount for double occupancy – totally to a cool $678 per person.
