What to expect

Costa Rica Gay Romance Package -Twelve-day tour visiting the Caribbean Coast, during which you can drive to such beautiful nearby beaches as the Cocles, Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo. Then drive to Arenal, one of the most popular destinations in Costa Rica, next enjoy your gay getaway at Rio Perdido, and finally to Tamarindo Beach where the nightlife and nature adventures are never end.

Itinerary

Spend twelve days of romance visiting the most idyllic beaches and volcanoes on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, where locals are some of the most relaxed, gentle, and open-minded people in the world. They embrace any opportunity to share their culture and heritage with visitors, as well as the astonishing beauty and tranquility of their beaches.

Day 1

Arrival

Meet and greet at the Juan Santa Maria International Airport where your private driver will be waiting to transport you to your hotel and bring you your travel kit.

Day 2

San José – Puerto Viejo Beach

After breakfast, your car rental representative will deliver the car to your hotel in San José. Be sure to take your license, passport and a valid credit card. Drive to Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast, where you will be surrounded by great music and good vibes.

Included

Day 3

Puerto Viejo Beach

During the day, you can enjoy the beach or rent a bike and discover the town of Puerto Viejo. At noon, learn to prepare delicious rice and beans, a typical Caribbean dish, and learn about the culture and the language. Be prepared for an experience filled with the warmth and flavors of the Caribbean. Share this time with an expert cook from Puerto Viejo, who will invite you to try your hand at cooking authentic dishes. This gives you the opportunity to spend time in a typical Afro-Caribbean kitchen and a little bit about life here. Eating to live, living to eat. Food is culture. Practice their dialect (Mek-i-tell-yu) or their local Spanish and learn their cooking secrets so you can take home a part of the Caribbean flavors and experience. The Talamanca cuisine is different from that of the rest of the country.

Using typical fruits and vegetables from the Caribbean, learn to cook traditional Caribbean dishes: patacones (fried bananas), rice and beans, fruit juices, fish or chicken in Caribbean sauce, and more! Finish your class by tasting the food you prepared. You can chose between chicken, fish or vegetables.

Day 6

Hike to Rio Celeste or Rafting tour

This is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible places in Costa Rica. The brilliant turquoise blue waters along with all the natural surrounding scenery make Rio Celeste a place to fall in love with.

A circuit trail of seven kilometers will take you through the forest to different interesting places, including the spectacular Rio Celeste Waterfall, the blue lagoon (a stretch of the calm river that makes a beautiful natural lagoon), and the observation deck of the Tenorio Volcano, which offers breathtaking views of the volcano and the surrounding mountains. Next come two more attractions: “Las Ollas” which are fumaroles filled with boiling mud and the “Teñideros” or Dyers, which is the place where the river obtains its unique color due to a natural chemical reaction.

Note: For the most adventurous, we have the rafting at Pacuare or Sarapiquí River tour instead of the hike.
