In an area known as the valley of the gods, surrounded by rivers, mountains, and valleys the villa has awe inspiring views of Turrialba volcano, sculpted gardens and sugarcane plantations. Day 2 — Guayabo National Monument Get up early to investigate the Guayabo Ruins, once home to over 10,000 people who mysteriously vanished just before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century. The petroglyphs, aqueducts, and paved roads disappearing into the lush rainforest give a glimpse of their ancient world at the most significant archaeological site in Costa Rica. The monument also includes a small visitors center/museum and a well maintained nature trail. Day 3 — Day of Adventure! You have your choice of the following activities: White Water Rafting the Pacuare We've been on a LOT of rivers in Costa Rica and there is none better than the Río Pacuare - a picture is worth a thousand words so click on the thumbnail to left and see for yourself. Professional guides will navigate you through Class III and IV rapids and some of the most pristine rainforest in the world accessible only from the river. The water is the perfect temperature for swimming or cooling shower in one of the side canyon waterfalls that pour in. Canopy Zipline Turrialba Or if you choose the zip-lines, be sure to eat a light breakfast! Today you will go on a high speed, high flying canopy zip-line adventure. On this gravity defying adventure, you will soar through the canopy of the rain forest on various zip-line cables, suspended by wheel and harness across! Day 4 — Azania Bungalows (3 Nights)more photos >>  Head down out of the mountains to the southern Caribbean coast, Play Cocles and Azania Bungalows.

Day 5 — Snorkeling Tour Caribbean The Caribbean coast offers some of the best snorkeling in the country. In fact, a few kilometers north of Cocles, Cahuita National Park was created specifically to protect a section of the remarkable reefs offshore.
