Jungle and Waterfalls Inclusive Vacation

Enjoy the changing scenery while someone else takes the wheel. Private transfers connect Liberia International Airport with your hotels and carry you between the Río Celeste rainforest and the Sámara coast. Round-trip transportation for the included outings is also arranged. Prefer to drive? Explore the rental-car option below.

For adults drawn to both rainforest trails and ocean horizons, this week balances two guided adventures with an open day in each destination. The waterfall walk calls for comfort on uneven forest paths; the island outing takes you onto the sea. Choose the activities that suit your energy and interests, and use the quieter days to enjoy the forest and coast at your own pace.

Río Celeste and Sámara bring two distinct Costa Rican landscapes into one unhurried week. Around Tenorio National Park, rainforest trails lead to a vivid blue waterfall, river viewpoints and the meeting of waterways that make this setting so memorable.

On the Sámara coast, palm-fringed beaches and turquoise waters bring a brighter, more open landscape after the rainforest. It is a coastal setting to savor at an easy pace.

The contrast is part of the pleasure: forest paths followed by coastal horizons, with an open day in each setting to enjoy the change of pace.

• A waterfall and an island in one week: the seven-day plan combines three nights in the Río Celeste region with three on the Sámara coast.
• Time to settle in: Days 2 and 6 are open, with no guided activity scheduled.
• A different way to explore: compare river kayaking, wildlife boat trips, pottery demonstrations and dry-forest walks in the tour choices.
• A stay that suits you: explore Origins Lodge, Tenorio Lodge and Nammbu alongside the featured hotels.
• Make it yours: share your dates, fellow travelers and the places you most want to experience with Pacific Trade Winds.
