Stretch your legs for an hour and then set off for the Pacific Coast, a journey of around two-and-a-half hours. We will provide you with detailed directions. Arrive on the fringes of Manuel Antonio National Park, framed by lush cliffs and idyllic beaches, your abode for the next three nights.

En route you'll stop at the Tocori waterfalls, the perfect place for a dip - just don't forget the GoPro. If you're a nature lover, it's worth requesting a dedicated guide who can point out exotic wildlife, flora, fauna and medicinal herbs along the way.

Birders will be in seventh heaven with around 200 species to spot. After time exploring independently, why not recuperate on a jungle-fringed beach. Relax here, cocktail in hand until the evening when you enjoy some of the most intense amber sunsets you may ever see.

Spend the rest of the afternoon soaking up the epitome of chic seaside living swinging in a hammock and dozing under the shade of a palm tree.

Those up for a jungle jaunt can go zip lining over canyons, kayaking in the rivers and birding in the emerald canopy. One day you might like to go riding along the beach or windsurfing in the mountain lakes. Take a day trip to the small beach towns, ideal for a relaxed outing sipping cocktails in beachfront restaurants.
