We’ll be carrying out planned website maintenance on Tuesday 29 September from 4pm, so the website may be temporarily unavailable during this time.
Join us on a tour to celebrate the extraordinary country of Costa Rica – one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet and a world leader in sustainability, conservation and eco-tourism.
Immerse yourself in the story of Costa Rica’s remarkable transformation – from a country devastated by deforestation into a global pioneer in the protection and regeneration of its natural resources. Learn about Costa Rica’s biodiversity, trade and eco-tourism and hear the story of Costa Rican chocolate.
We're working in partnership with Costa Rica Tourism, bringing the sights, flavours and stories of this incredible country to the heart of Cornwall.
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.
Discover the fascinating journey of chocolate from bean to bar, exploring how cacao is grown, harvested and transformed into chocolate.
You'll get the the chance to see cacao growing in our Rainforest Biome and you'll learn about why chocolate is so important for Costa Rica as a tool for regeneration.
These free talks take place in the Rainforest Biome twice per day - check the information boards when you arrive for exact timings and meet your tour guide by the cacao trees.
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.
Whether you're dreaming of slowing down and reconnecting with nature, spotting incredible wildlife or exploring lush rainforests, volcanic landscapes and palm-fringed beaches, Costa Rica offers extraordinary experiences at every turn.
In partnership with Costa Rica Tourism and Journey Latin America, we're giving one lucky winner and their guest the chance to enjoy an 8-day journey through some of Costa Rica's most iconic destinations. From the vibrant capital of San José to Arenal Volcano, the misty cloud forests of Monteverde and the tropical paradise of Manuel Antonio National Park, the prize includes rainforest walks, a canopy tour and zip lining through the treetops.
