Costa Rica doesn't whisper. It roars. Through the rush of waterfalls. The howler monkeys at first light. The wind against your face as you zip line over a rainforest that's older than anything you've ever stood inside.

This is eight days of pure pura vida, moving through volcanic landscapes, mist-covered cloud forests, and lush jungle trails alongside a small group of women who came ready.

You'll watch sloths hang in the wild. You'll cross Lake Arenal by boat at golden hour. You'll taste coffee grown in the shadow of a volcano. You'll do things that remind you that this is what alive feels like. It's equal parts wonder, adventure, and why did I wait so long to do this?

This journey is brought to you in collaboration with our friends at Let's Go Globetrotting a women's travel company that shares our belief that the best adventures happen when women explore together.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS JOURNEY

You experience Costa Rica the way it's meant to be felt — not just seen. From the erupting energy of the Arenal Volcano to the peaceful stillness of a Monteverde cloud forest, every stop is chosen for depth, not just scenery. You won't just pass through. You'll land.

Adventure is woven in and always at your pace. Zip lining over the jungle canopy. Kayaking on a volcanic lake. Spotting sloths in their natural habitat. A boat crossing through misty rainforest. Each day holds something that pushes you just enough — without ever pushing too far.

Small group. Real connection. You'll travel with a maximum of 12 Soul Sisters. That means flexibility, intimacy, no chaos, and the kind of friendships that form when you share something extraordinary together.

You go local. Every single day. A traditional coffee farm. A community cooperative lunch. A wildlife sanctuary run by conservationists. This isn't a highlights tour. This is an immersion into culture, into nature, into the real Costa Rica.

You leave energized, not exhausted. The rhythm of this trip is intentional. Active by day, comfortable by night. Staying in 3-to-4-star boutique hotels with private amenities, you'll sleep well, wake ready, and return home already dreaming of where to go next.

THE ITINERARY

Day 1 — September 2, 2026

San Jose, Costa Rica Meals Included: Street Food Walking Tour

You've landed. Make your way to the hotel and take a breath, you're here!

Spend the afternoon exploring on your own terms. Wander the lively streets of San Jose, duck into the buzzing Central Market, or simply soak in the energy of a city that has a pulse all its own.

Tonight, join your chaperones Angie & Rachelle for a mandatory welcome meeting, it’s your chance to meet your Tour Leader, connect with your fellow Soul Sisters, and confirm the important details: passport documents, travellers' insurance, and emergency contact information. Plan to be there. This one matters.

Then the real fun begins.

The group heads out for a street food walking tour through San Jose after dark and this city was made for it. The air cools. The sidewalks glow with strings of warm light. Food trucks line the streets, each one sending out its own irresistible aroma: grilled carne asada, tangy ceviche, fresh pupusas, Costa Rican tacos, and sweet churros dusted in sugar. The sound of sizzling pans mixes with music drifting from nearby speakers and sometimes reggaeton, sometimes Latin jazz, and occasionally a live band that pulls the whole street in.

Tonight is about landing well. Eating well. And saying hola to 8 of the most incredible days of your life.

Note: Airport transfers are available to pre-book and are highly recommended — these are at an additional charge and not included in the trip price.

• Mandatory welcome meeting with Angie, Rachelle & your Tour Leader

Then it's on to Arenal Vida Campesina for a hands-on coffee tour, walking the farm, learning how Costa Rican coffee is grown, harvested, and prepared, and finishing with a tasting that will ruin your morning coffee routine back home (in the best possible way).

Nature, culture, and the kind of slow travel that actually stays with you.

As you explore, your guide will share the story of this forest's conservation mission and its role in protecting the water sources and ecosystems that future generations will depend on.

This is more than a hike. It's a reminder of what we're protecting when we choose to travel consciously.
