Top Multi-Day Tours In Costa Rica

Multi-day tours are an amazing way to see a lot of Costa Rica in a short amount of time. There are opportunities to hike your way through multiple ecosystems, raft from one part of Costa Rica to the other, disappear into the depths of nature for several days on end, or set off on a variety-pack planned tour that takes you to some of Costa Rica’s most famous natural landmarks.

Corcovado National Park Walk

Natural Feature

One of the most immersive ways to experience the vast biodiversity and magic of the Corcovado National Park is by hiking from one entrance of the park to the other. A trek that takes you through the heart of the Corcovado National Park is from Las Patos Station (it is a 5 kilometer (3 mile) hike along a beautiful river valley to get to this station) to the Sirena Biological Station. By law, you must have a guide with you at all times during this 17.4 kilometer (11 mile) adventure, which you will find very beneficial anyway. The hike is usually broken up into two days. You will camp overnight at one of the ranger stations. There are three trials that go through the Corcovado National Park, so you can definitely spend way more than two days in the park, if you so desire.

La Amistad International Peace Park Excursion

Natural Feature, Park

Stream at cloud forest, La Amistad international park.

La Amistad National Park is the largest and most remote park in Costa Rica. It is also one of the few parks in the world that is shared between two countries. A hike through this protected area of Costa Rica is only for the most determined and adventurous hikers, as there are no roads to get into the park and no accommodations and amenities once you are in. There are four entrances to the park and all can only be accessed by foot or horseback. From the Caribbean side, it is a two day walk just to enter the park. Nearly 2/3 of all the animal species in Costa Rica reside in this park. To cross from one side of the park to other in Costa Rica takes at least a week. This is the adventure of a lifetime though!

Cerro de la Muerte Challenge

Natural Feature, Park

Cerro de la Muerte is the highest summit in all of Costa Rica. At a staggering 3,451 meters (11,322 feet) above sea level, this peak is highly sought after by adrenaline-seeking mountain climbers. On this extraordinary hike, you will pass through multiple ecosystems and temperature zones. You must make a reservation in order to hike here and can only stay a maximum of three days, but the challenge is worth the reward. During your guided hike, you will have unique wildlife encounters, exquisite vistas, and learn a wealth about this area in Costa Rica.
