About this trip

 🌿 10 DAYS IN COSTA RICA: NATURE, ADVENTURE & ACCESSIBILITY ♿ 

Your adventure begins as soon as you arrive at the airport in San José, where our certified guide will be waiting for you with accessible transportation. You’ll be taken to a 4-star hotel in the city, where you can relax and enjoy a delicious dinner.

The next morning, you'll embark on a guided city tour of downtown San José, exploring one of the city's most important museums and enjoying lunch at the Central Market, a lively spot full of local flavors.

On day three, you'll head to the breathtaking Caribbean Coast, traveling to Tortuguero National Park, a lush paradise known for its wildlife and stunning waterways. Over the next three days, you’ll explore the jungle, visit the Tortuguero Museum, and take a guided boat tour through the canals to spot exotic animals in their natural habitat.

After two nights in Tortuguero, you’ll make your way to La Fortuna, home to the majestic Arenal Volcano. Your first stop will be at the rejuvenating hot springs, where you’ll unwind in naturally heated mineral pools. The following day, you’ll take a guided tour of the famous hanging bridges, offering stunning views of the rainforest from above. Later, you’ll visit an organic farm, where you’ll experience a hands-on cooking lesson, learning to prepare traditional Costa Rican dishes before enjoying a delicious homemade dinner.

On your seventh day, get ready for an exciting sloth tour, where you’ll observe these fascinating creatures in their natural environment. Afterward, you'll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before heading to a coffee plantation, where you’ll learn about Costa Rica’s rich coffee culture and participate in a tasting experience.

Day eight takes you to the Pacific Coast, where you'll arrive in Manuel Antonio after a scenic drive, with a stop for lunch along the way. Before checking in at your beautiful hotel, you’ll take an accessible boat tour through the mangroves, where you’ll encounter an incredible variety of wildlife.

The next day is all about adventure and relaxation! You’ll experience an adaptive surfing lesson led by professional instructors and athletes, followed by a guided visit to the stunning Manuel Antonio National Park, known for its pristine beaches and abundant wildlife.

We have a great time, thanks a lot Agostina for taking care of all the details, we did not have to thing on or be worried about accesibility as everything was in place. People was wonderful, always willing to help

What an incredible trip to Costa Rica. It was my first time visiting, and you guys rocked everything you planned for me was incredible. Every aspect of the trip was so easy and so easy to follow. I can’t thank you enough so much. Eric Friedberg

We had great support from Agostina at Il Villagio travel. Our son uses a wheelchair and she helped us find accessible accommodations, and also arranged a rental vehicle that could accommodate his wheelchair (though there were no vehicles available to rent that would allow us to tie down his chair directly, so we had to bring a separate car seat for him). We loved Costa Rica and can't wait to go back!

This was easily one of the top travel experiences we’ve had. Il Viaggio Travel/Costa Rica got everything right…hotels, restaurants, itinerary, excursions. But by far the most wonderful thing they did was team us up with our guide, Margerhita Botazzi. Margerhita’s background in biology and ornithology was an inspired selection, as our primary interest this trip was wildlife and birding. She is exceptional at her craft, identifying birds by sight as well as sound, finding elusive creatures like the sloth, monkeys, and agouti, and assisting us in our photography. She was wonderfully flexible, ready to recommend dining alternatives that would give us a more authentic Costa Rican dining experience and getting us into out-of-the-way locales for wildlife spotting. She watched over our physical welfare every step of the way, crucial since I was scheduled for knee surgery three days after our return. Even the time in the car was enjoyable, with her knowledge of the country’s culture, government, history, and politics. Her auto games and Spanish lessons were a tremendous amount of fun. When we return to Costa Rica we will use Il Viaggio again and will recommend them to friends and family.

Amazing trip, itinerary was fantastic and all wheelchair accessible (with no access issues) Only slight issue was picking up and dropping off the rental car, details on the itinerary were not detailed or clear enough. Mostly the itinerary description was great. Occasionally it could have had more details ie the surfing where we didnt know the time or the company. These are only minor points! Overall had an amazing time and we are so appreciative for all the help and organisation. Agostina was available via whatsapp and always responded quickly which was really helpful!

We have just returned back to the UK from a 7 night trip. What an incredible experience. il Viaggio Travel - 100% recommend using this company for your guided tour / driver. They specialise in accessible travel ♿️ Booking with il Viaggio took the stress away and they organised everything. All of our transportation (10 seater minibus), hotels, trips/tours and restaurants were planned for us. From being collected from the airport, to being dropped at our final destination of the holiday, Emmanuel (driver/guide) stayed with us from start to finish. He was friendly, kind and so knowledgeable about his country and wildlife. We wouldn’t have spotted much without him, he is like a walking encyclopedia. We were lucky enough to see 2/3 toe sloths, viper snakes, leaf ants, howler monkeys, dart frogs, toucans, owls, iguanas, Jesus Christ lizards, and lots more. We spent the last 3 days relaxing at margaritaville as that’s what suited us best after 4 jam packed days. The sunsets on playa flamingo beach are stunning! All of the hotel staff were amazing, plenty of sun beds etc and the choice of food and drink was great. Short walk to bars / restaurants and small marina where we saw sting rays.
