Head on an immersive rainforest adventure

Throughout the weekend, join one of our Costa Rican Experience Tours in the lush surroundings of our Rainforest Biome, led by one of our expert guides.

Discover the fruits and flavours of Costa Rica. Along the way, our guides will bring the stories of these plants to life, revealing their cultural, ecological and culinary importance.

We run two of these tours every day - check the timings on the information boards when you arrive, and head to just inside the entrance of the Rainforest Biome, where your guide will meet you before the tour begins.

Learn about our regenerative work in Costa Rica

Since 2018, we have worked in close partnership with communities in Costa Rica, supporting long-term change for both the people and the land they live on. One of the projects we have worked on is a regenerative agroforestry programme, providing farmers with thousands of cacao plants, practical training in sustainable farming methods, and direct connections to ethical buyers. This project aims to ensure sustainability and greater resilience for both livelihoods and landscapes.
