  Start the adventure with an easy walk at the Universidad de la Paz nature reserve, then continue to the Puriscal area for a truly unique experience, the Survivor Adventure course through the jungle. Enjoy a Tarzan rope swing across the river to get the adrenalin flowing, as your team competes for victory! There will also be time for an optional visit to the Turu Bari Adventure Park, whose jungle canopy tours and horseriding will make you say "Pura Vida!"

• Day: 2-3 Monteverde National Park

  Next up, Monteverde. Home to incredible biodiversity (and some fun nightlife), there will be plenty of time to explore the famous cloud forest with many species of insects, amphibians & mammals that live in the trees. For some extra adrenaline, try the zip-line tour among the clouddrenched canopies and across open ravines!

It is a challenging hike, but well worth the effort!
