The Northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica has so much to offer if you are looking for a remote and off the beaten track experience. The spectacular pristine beaches offer an incredible setting for an array of water sports, including diving, snorkelling surfing, amongst others. Inland we can experience remote biodiversity in the spectacular lush rainforests with crystal clear rivers and waterfalls. In between, we have some impressive magnificent volcanos to marvel at.
