B&R’s newest way to travel! This itinerary is one of our new locally-supported, private trips. They use the hallmarks that we’re known for: great hotels, friendly and talented local guides plus memorable experiences but it’s just your group and on the dates that work best for you.*

In this independent travel experience we invite you to discover three lush destinations in Costa Rica that—combined together—will offer you an exclusive glimpse into the country’s sustainable tourism. After staying the first night in San Jose, you will visit the Osa Peninsula, considered one of the best ecological sanctuaries in Costa Rica. In this magical place, you can discover the secrets of the rainforest and enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Golfo Dulce. Later, you will visit the Arenal Volcano, one of Costa Rica's most scenic areas. For the last part of the trip, you will visit the Cloud Forest of Los Angeles de San Ramon, where you can enjoy peace and tranquility.
