Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.

"I know Costa Rica is well known for its wildlife, but I hadn’t anticipated just quite how much of it I’d see! The 5-hour bus ride from San Jose to Monteverde felt more like an excursion as we came across snakes, motmots, kingfishers, and two and three-toed sloths, but my favourite part of the trip was the stay in Tortuguero – watching hundreds of leatherback turtles arriving in the middle of the night to lay their eggs was an experience I’ll never forget."
