Download PDF Itinerary Costa Rica: Eco Adventure Trip Summary Explore the best of Costa Rica’s stunning Guanacaste province on this exciting six-day adventure. Immerse yourself in a world full of volcanic features, cloud forests, and jungle waterfalls. This tour strikes the perfect balance of Pura Vida (pure life) with lots of action- packed adventure as well as opportunities to slow down for rest and relaxation. Discover Rincon de la Vieja National Park where you’ll zip line through the treetops and float down a tropical river. After three action-packed days, travel to laid-back Playa Carrillo to immerse yourself in the white sand beaches and the Pacific Ocean. Discover local reefs via kayak, snorkel, or stand-up paddleboard. The toughest part is going home.SM Costa Rica: Eco Adventure Detailed Itinerary Day 1: Liberia | Rincon de la Vieja National Park Liberia, Costa Rica Arrival: Welcome to Costa Rica! Your guides will pick you up in the morning from your pre-trip hotel. Transfer Time: 1 Hour Rincon de la Vieja National Park: Named after one of three volcanoes in the area, Rincon de la Vieja National Park boasts rolling green hills, gushing waterfalls, and lush cloud forest. The park attracts travellers year round who come to explore its volcanoes, hot springs and picturesque waterfalls. The name “Rincon de la Vieja” translates to “The Old Woman’s Corner”, referencing a local legend about a girl who became a recluse on the volcano’s slopes after her lover was thrown into the volcano by her father. Accommodation: Hacienda Guachipelin (D) Day 2: Rincon de la Vieja National Park Canyon Canopy Zip Lining: Prepare for the exhilarating Midworld Canopy zipline tour. You're in for an incredible adrenaline rush on our exclusive Canyon Canopy Tour, one of the best adventure tours in Guanacaste. On this one-of-a-kind Costa Rica zip line tour, you will fly through the trees on zip lines, rappel, rock climb, and swing like Tarzan! Las Chorreras Waterfall Hike: Walk through a dry tropical forest to Chorrera Falls and a beautiful swimming spot. This alluring waterfall meets up with the Blanco River to create an enticing blue pool at its base where we are tempted to jump in for a quick soak. The toughest part is going home.SM Rio Negro Tubing and Hot Springs: Head to the crystal clear river for a two-hour floating experience. Drift down class II and III rapids in big inflatable tubes for approximately two hours. There are many quiet sections along the river where you can appreciate the beautiful surrounding tropical scenery. Afterwards, visit the hot springs at the hotel, relaxing in the pools with clay hot springs. Accommodation: Hacienda Guachipelin (B,L,D) Day 3: Rincon de la Vieja National Park Cangreja Falls Hike: Hike about three miles to Cangreja Falls, a challenging hike to the largest waterfall in Rincon de La Vieja Volcano National Park. Along the trail you can see wildlife such as white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys and spider monkeys, coatis, armadillos, agoutis, iguanas, and birds such as the bobo bird or the emerald tucancillo. Copper minerals that come from the volcano, dissolved in the water, give the water a heavenly blue color. Las Pailas Loop Trail: The Las Pailas Trail spectacularly shows the power of the Rincon de la Vieja volcano. Steam and sulfur come from natural fumaroles of the yellow and rusty soil. Walk just over two miles on the Las Pailas circular path through the tropical forest to enjoy the best views of the volcano, incredible nature, volcanic activity, and wildlife. Accommodation: Hacienda Guachipelin (B,L,D) The toughest part is going home.SM Day 4: Rincon de la Vieja Volcano | Playa Carrillo Rincon de la Vieja Birdwatching: With over 900 species of birds, Costa Rica is one of the world’s top destinations for birding. The Rincon de la Vieja Volcano is replete with birdwatching opportunities due to its diverse ecosystems. Strike out in the morning with a local guide to discover the 300 different bird species which have been identified in the area, including the Spectacled Owl, the Curassow and the Montezuma Oropendola. Transfer Time: 4 Hours Playa Carrillo, Costa Rica: Unlike the developed beaches further to the north of Puerto Carrillo, a charming fishing village, Playa Carrillo is quiet and relaxed. The delightful white-sand beaches on the western Costa Rica coast have small waves, warm turquoise waters and a collection of lovely tidal pools. The nearby village, Puerto Carrillo, is known for its inviting beaches and laid- back atmosphere. Playa Carrillo Stand Up Paddle Boarding: The beaches of Carrillo have some of the most tranquil waves in Costa Rica. It is the ideal place to begin your paddle boarding adventure. You will be taught by an experienced guide how to first kneel, and then stand up on the board, as well as the correct way to paddle. Accommodation: Nammbu Beachfront Bungalows (B,L,D) Day 5: Isla Chora | Samara Beach Isla Chora Kayaking: Transfer to the launch site for a sea kayaking and snorkeling adventure at Isla Chora. This small island is located just a short distance from Samara Beach. There is a stunning coral reef to explore where you can walk the beaches of the island (water shoes recommended). This afternoon join in on an optional surfing lesson (additional cost), more snorkeling or relaxing on the beach. The choice is yours. Samara Beach Optional Surf Lesson: Surf's up! Learn from a professional how to surf on Samara Beach. Your gear will be provided and the ocean is yours to explore by board.

  • Deep Sea Drilling Project Initial Reports Volume 84
    37. A TECTONIC CROSS-SECTION OF THE COSTA RICAN PACIFIC LITTORAL AS A KEY TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE LANDWARD SLOPE OF THE MIDDLE AMERICA TRENCH OFF GUATEMALA1 Jacques Azema, Jacques Bourgois, Peter O. Baumgartner, Jean Tournon, Alain Desmet, and Jean Aubouin2 ABSTRACT Pre-upper Senonian basement of Costa Rica crops out in the Santa Elena and Nicoya peninsulas. From south to north and from base to top the basement includes the Esperanza, Matapalo, and Santa Elena units. The Esperanza unit is Albian-Santonian in age and consists mainly of pillow basalt and massive basalt flows. The Matapalo unit includes Callovian-Cenomanian radiolarite and exhibits a massive basalt flow, pillow basalt, and dolerite basement. The Santa Elena unit contains ultramafic and mafic rocks in which harzburgite is the major component. The most important tec- tonic features of the Nicoya Complex are the large Santa Elena and Matapalo nappes. Nappe emplacement was from north to south during late Santonian time. The sedimentary cover of the Nicoya Complex comprises (1) the Campanian El Viejo Formation, which consists of shallow-water sediments to the north on Santa Elena Peninsula and the Campa- nian-Maestrichtian Sabana Grande Formation of deep-water origin to the south on Nicoya Peninsula; (2) Paleocene sediments, which indicate deposition in a deep-water environment and which comprise the Rivas, Las Palmas, and Samara formations; and (3) post-upper Eocene(?) sediments, which consist of the shallow-water Barra Honda and Montezuma formations. Two unconformities are the major geologic features of the upper Senonian-Tertiary sequence of Costa Rica. The lower one is at the base of the Sabana Grande Formation and marks a major change in the geologic conditions (basalt is scarce in the Campanian-Tertiary series); the upper unconformity at the base of the Barra Honda and Montezuma formations is not as pronounced as the lower one.
