Explore Costa Rica EcoAdventures

Leading Costa Rican naturalist Carlos Chacón guides small-group ecoadventures through the country’s rainforests, cloud forests, and coastal regions. These trips focus on wildlife-rich experiences such as birdwatching, active volcano viewpoints, sea turtle nesting sites, and seasonal whale watching. Every itinerary adapts to weather, wildlife activity, and your group’s interests, giving you a more personal and immersive way to explore Costa Rica.

Small Groups, Expert Guidance

Most Costa Rica tours: 40 people on a bus. Designated viewpoints. 

Ours: 10-15 people. Time to observe. Space to understand. You notice a sloth’s grip. How a howler monkey positions itself. The way water moves around a whale. The itinerary serves the experience, not the other way around.

Small groups also mean real conversations. With your guide. With other travelers. You meet people worth knowing beyond the trip.

The accommodations matter too. Boutique eco-lodges known by name. Thoughtful food, comfortable rooms. They’re intentional, not generic. When you choose Ecoadventures Costa Rica, you’re choosing active education.

For People Who Want Real Nature Experiences

Ecoadventures is designed for people who love being outdoors and want to experience Costa Rica’s wildlife and ecosystems up close. These trips are a great fit for travelers who enjoy walking forest trails, spotting birds and mammals, learning about local habitats, and exploring a mix of rainforests, cloud forests, and coastal areas. If you prefer small groups, flexible days, and meaningful time in nature rather than luxury resorts or fast-paced sightseeing, you’ll feel at home here. The ideal traveler is curious, observant, and open to the natural rhythm of each day. They’re comfortable walking 2–3 miles on uneven terrain, adapting to changing weather, and embracing the beauty of the unexpected—like a bird call in the canopy or a wildlife sighting along the trail. If you value connection, discovery, and authentic nature travel, these ecoadventures are built for you.

Susan F, Hilton Head Island Resident

Our trip with Carlos was incredible — his deep passion and knowledge of the rainforest brought every moment to life, especially for someone like me with a background in science. I appreciated the experience on both a personal and scientific level, and I’m still smiling about spotting two lagomorphs on the night walk.

Anthony S., Hilton Head Island

Our trip with Carlos was truly the experience of a lifetime — his expertise made it possible for us to witness an arribada, something I’ve dreamed of seeing for years. His passion is contagious, the wildlife and food were unforgettable, and I’m already planning to send my daughter and granddaughter on one of his future trips.
