Costa Rica is a country of impressive landscapes, lively wildlife, and one-of-a-kind experiences. This carefully planned itinerary takes you from the streets of San Jose to volcanic terrains, lush rainforests, tranquil lakes, and golden beaches.

Our vision is that all animals encountered on a Travel Counsellors holiday are free from exploitation, neglect and cruelty. We support an end to the capture of animals from the wild for the purposes of entertainment and we encourage the conservation of natural habitats and their wildlife. 🐅

The best way to view wild animals is living freely, which is why we created our comprehensive animal welfare policy which acts as a guideline to help me create the best wildlife viewing experiences for you to enjoy.🦒

With this in mind, I can help you view wildlife ethically on your next adventure…just ask 🐘
