NOVEMBER 21 – DECEMBER 6, 2008 Destination: Costa Rica
RATING O: (Angeles Chapter)

Sixteen day tour from the Pacific beaches to the wild Northern Caribbean with stops in San Jose, Arenal, Santa Elena/Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Tortuguero Village, Cahuita and everything in between. Why watch a National Geographic special when you can live it? On layover days, we will do some hiking and explore why this country is known for its enlightened approach to conservation. Visit Volcanoes, rain forests, ecological reserves, wildlife refuges and see spectacular wildlife: Crocodiles, exotic birds, sloths, all kinds of monkeys, frogs, snakes, coatis, and more. You can seek adventure in the jungle canopy or chill out in a hammock and enjoy la pura vida and the local tico culture.

Ports of call are San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands; Dominica; St. Kitts; La Romana, Dominican Republic; and back to San Juan. Cruise fare includes double occupancy cabins (we’ll match singles), all meals buffet or restaurant style, Las Vegas style entertainment, three bands and orchestras, exercise/fitness center, and other services, like duty-free shopping. This luxury cruise ship/resort moves each night to a new port for another full day. There are many opportunities for adventures, shopping, and exploration. Prices are from $499 D/occupancy plus taxes, port charges. Discounted cabins will only be available for a few months, then unsold cabins are returned to cruise line.

Our extension offers a visit to the only Tropical rainforest in the US national forest system, a two-night stay in a historic hotel, and one of the world wonders, a kayak trip into a premier bioluminescent lagoon.
