Trip Activity Level

Activity Rating: 2 out of 5

This trip is rated 2 for the option to join activities such as hiking, zip lining, and kayaking. The car rides on this trip are relatively short. This trip provides a balanced combination of movement and relaxation with opportunities to increase or decrease your exertion. Hikes are under 2 miles on paved, gravel roads or uneven terrain. All hikes and activities are optional and include time for resting. 

Trip Intention

This trip gives you the chance to source cacao and coffee with us while exploring other cultures, doing fun activities, and enjoying the vast beauty that Costa Rica has to offer. Together we will source cacao and coffee from one of our direct trade farming partners, volunteer planting trees, and explore the remote interiors and wildlife of northwestern Coast Rica.

Accommodations

We will be staying in boutique, 4 to 5 star hotels. Families will have their own room while single travelers will share a room with a travel mate of the same gender. You'll find every hotel to be comfortable and clean with plenty of space, and will absolutely love the culture and aesthetics that come with it.

Weather

The average high in June is 85°F, the average low is 64°F. The average rainfall is 11 inches in June. Costa Rica is known for it's lush, moist climate that supports a variety of unique wildlife. 

Considerations While Packing

Please pack light and contain your items to one carry-on personal bag such as a backpack, and a single checked bag such as a duffel bag or roller. It will be hot (so shorts are common) but lightweight long pants are useful also for visits to the farms to protect you from mosquitos and brush. 

A layered clothing system for warm/hot/sunny days and cooler/cold evenings and nights or for cool/cloudy days is most efficient.

There will be a chance to have clothes washed once. This will likely be a hand-wash service and we do not recommend using it for fragile, expensive or irreplaceable items.

Packing Check List

Travel Documents. Don’t forget your...

1. Valid Passport (Must have a 6-month passport validity from the date of the return trip)
2. Airline Tickets

Travel Money

$200 to $400 is usually more than enough money for souvenirs, tips, extra food, drinks, etc. Most shops in Costa Rica accept USD. However the national currency is Colones, and we usually suggest converting half of your cash to colones right away at the Liberia Airport, and then use ATM machines or convert more cash as needed later on. We will make sure you have moments to covert or withdraw funds throughout the trip. 

Staying Connected. Combating FOMO...

If cell phone service is needed during the trip, we suggest that you contact your cell phone carrier to set you up with a travel plan. This is usually $10 per day. 

Please note Jeff Abella's number and feel free to share this with family before you travel as an emergency contact only! 570 445-1901

WiFi: All of our accommodations will have WIFI

Electricity

Voltage: Costa Rica operates on 120 volt electricity and is generated at 60Hz. This is the same as the US so we will not need an outlet adapter. 

Travel Insurance

While we do not anticipate injuries, it is best to be prepared. Check with your insurance provider to see if you are covered Internationally. If not, travel insurance is relatively cheap and can often be purchased through one of the large US insurance providers.
