Costa Rica Multi-Sport Adventure

Arrive Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River, Guanacaste

Upon arrival in Liberia, transfer by ground 1 – 1.5 hours to Bagaces, an off-the-beaten-path location in Guanacaste’s interior. Arrive at Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River.

Set within a 600-acre private reserve encompassing the Río Blanco Canyon and Río Perdido thermal river, this one-of-a-kind eco-resort offers an incredible combination of adventure and relaxation. Guests can follow scenic trails down to the river for a soothing soak in its naturally heated waters or explore miles of trails winding through the reserve. Guided hikes, mountain biking, river tubing, and zip-lining are all available without ever leaving the property. For a slower pace, the resort offers scheduled activities, including yoga and guided nature walks. Wildlife is abundant throughout the reserve, so whether you’re lounging by the thermal-fed swimming pool or relaxing in your private bungalow, keep an eye out for monkeys, colorful birds, and other native wildlife.

AM Rio Perdido Canyon Adventure / PM White Water Tubing

This morning, set out on the Río Perdido Canyon Adventure, a thrilling zip-line experience high above the spectacular Río Blanco Canyon. Unlike more traditional zip-line tours in Costa Rica, this adventure takes you through a dramatic canyon landscape that few travelers get to experience. The course features 15 platforms, a 50-foot Tarzan swing, four via ferrata climbing routes, and a 90-foot challenge bridge, offering plenty of excitement along the way.

Later, join your guide for Río Perdido White Water Tubing, an unforgettable journey through more than a mile of winding canyon scenery. Float between towering rock walls, navigate sections of rolling whitewater, and keep an eye out for natural hot water springs flowing into the river. While much of the route offers a relaxing float through the canyon, a series of natural slides and rapids adds just the right amount of adventure. Overnight: Río Perdido.

Rio Perdido Mountain Biking – Rio Blanco Loop

Begin your mountain biking adventure at Río Perdido with a ride along the scenic Río Blanco Loop. Required for all first-time riders, this introductory trail offers a taste of the reserve’s extensive mountain biking network. The mostly shaded route features a gentle elevation gain of just 120 meters, giving you a chance to get comfortable with the terrain while enjoying the surrounding scenery. Once you’ve completed the loop, you’re free to explore the reserve’s more challenging trails at your own pace. Overnight: Río Perdido.

Transfer to Olas Verdes Hotel, Nosara

Today, you will be met by your driver for a private transfer by ground, approximately 3.5 – 4 hours to Nosara on the Nicoya Peninsula. Arrive at Olas Verdes Hotel.

Surrounded by towering Guanacaste trees and lush tropical greenery, Olas Verdes is just a short walk along a jungle trail from the beautiful shores of Playa Guiones. Once a quiet farming community, the Nosara area has evolved into a sought-after destination for surfing, yoga, and wellness, while retaining its relaxed coastal charm. With its expansive sandy beaches, welcoming atmosphere, and easygoing pace of life, Nosara is a wonderful place to experience Costa Rica’s signature Pura Vida lifestyle.

During the hour-long paddle, your guide will help you spot tropical birds and other native species, perhaps even a crocodile, while sharing insights into Nosara’s remarkable biodiversity. Your journey ends at a secluded stretch of Nosara Beach accessible only by water, where you can unwind, take in the beautiful surroundings, and enjoy a refreshing snack of fresh tropical fruit. Overnight: Olas Verdes Hotel.
