Today you will be met outside the airport by your private guide and driver. If you can come in on a morning or midday flight, we will make our way to the Central Pacific where we will spend one night. Here we will have an orientation of what to expect during the trip and things to get your ready for the Cave Adventure tomorrow. (Meals: Dinner)
Day 2 ------- Enter Cave & Rappel (Sleep Behind Waterfall)
We will wake up and eat a filling breakfast as we will be burning it off hiking to the cavern. Then we will head up the mountains on a ridge that leads to amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and a chance to be surrounded by primary rainforest. When we arrive we will have lunch, relax for a bit, and then get geared up to rappel a 100 ft waterfall. This is an amazing adventure that the kids love! In the evening we will walk to the top of a 600 ft waterfall where we will watch the sunset over the Pacific and then hike back to the cavern to enjoy the evening camping activities. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)
Day 3 ------- Leave Cave & Drive to Turrialba (Casa Turire)
After hiking to some pools where we can hop off a small waterfall we will then make our way to the town of Turrialba. This is a long drive but we end up at the very nice Casa Turire Hotel with views of the smoking Turrialba Volcano. (Note: We also have a homestay option these two nights. This is an great project we have going and it is always everyone's favorite part of the trip, living with the families for two nights. We keep everyone active and all the homes are very close to each other). (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)
Day 4 ------- Visit Sitio de Mata Community Service (Casa Turire)
Today we will visit the village of Sitio de Mata and do community service. This is a day to give back to the community and if we are doing the homestay option this is the same village we will be helping. The project will consist of building something or helping out in some way around the village. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)

| Ready for Oak Hall |
Today we will enter what National Geographic has listed as one of the top five rivers on the planet. This is a beautiful day of fun and adventure so we decided to make it two days. We will be sleeping in a tent camp on this beautiful river. This is a memorable experience, waking up in the rainforest and the sound of the river. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)
Day 6 ------- Leave Pacuare & Drive to Caribbean (Almonds & Corales)
After breakfast at the camp we will raft down the famous Pacuare Canyon, the most beautiful and biggest rapids of the river. It will be a day of fun and getting soaked for sure. After we take out of the river we will drive two hours to the Caribbean. We will be staying in Almonds and Corals which was voted Costa Rica's top ecolodge. This is a real treat as this lodge is not only luxurious but it is as environmental friendly as you can get and we plan to make this lesson all part of the visit to the lodge. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)
Day 7 ------- Indigenous Community Service (Almonds & Corales)
Today is another day of community service where we plan on visiting the local indigenous tribe Bri-bri. Here we will develop another project which will give us a day of helping in the area.
