Tamarindo Extension

 

Extend your Costa Rica adventure to the beaches of the Pacific coast, where the water is crystal clear, the skies are blue and the sun shines almost 365 days a year! Your luxurious beachfront resort is a tranquil retreat after a fun-filled day at the beach, or hiking through the forest, or fishing, and even turtle watching. Live a carefree existence with monkeys frolicking through the trees and giant iguanas strolling up to your table, before returning to your hectic schedule.

Days 1/2 - Tamarindo Beach, Guanacaste
Drive through scenic countryside to one of the most beautiful oceanfront destinations that Costa Rica has to offer.  Savor the beauty and amenities of your lovely hotel, located approximately 25 yards from the beach. Tamarindo offers first-class sport fishing, sailing, surfing, golf, ATV tours, turtle watching, diving, horseback riding, canopy tours, jungle boat rides and spa facilities. Surrounded by National Parks to its north and south and mountains with breathtaking views to its east, nature is abundant here. Leatherback turtles lay their eggs in the northern part of the bay between October and February, and howler monkeys are heard and seen swinging on branches throughout Tamarindo. In some restaurants, giant iguanas will come up to your table expecting table scraps. In the late afternoons you can hear the parakeets screeching in the trees, preparing to settle down for the night. TAMARINDO EL DIRIA HOTEL. (B Daily) 

Days 3/4 - Sarchi/San Jose/Los Angeles
Return to San Jose, but first stop at Sarchi for some of Costa Rica’s best shopping of local handicrafts, especially the infamous wooden oxcarts.  Upon arrival, check into the LA CONDESA HOTEL where the remainder of your day is at leisure.  Tonight, enjoy a farewell dinner at your hotel.  The next day, transfer to the airport for your return flights home.  (B,L,D; B)
