About this trip
Costa Rica Multi Sport Adventure CME
Costa Rica is Central America’s crown jewel and this trip delivers three iconic adventures in one.
We begin in San José, then head to the Central Pacific coast to explore Manuel Antonio National Park, where jungle trails meet white-sand beaches and abundant wildlife. Choose your pace: adventure activities or pure beach time.
Next, we move inland to Rafiki Safari Lodge, a remote eco-luxury tent camp deep in the rainforest. Here, we tackle the Savegre River on an unforgettable whitewater rafting adventure and immerse ourselves in Costa Rica’s wild interior.
Our journey finishes in the Osa Peninsula at Copa de Árbol Beach & Rainforest Resort, gateway to Corcovado National Park and the Caño Island Biological Reserve—one of the most biologically intense places on Earth. Hike pristine rainforest, snorkel and dive crystal-clear waters, and explore untouched wilderness by land and sea.
Evenings feature Wilderness & Travel Medicine CME sessions, blending education with adventure in one of the world’s most vibrant ecosystems.

Itinerary
What to expect
Days 1–3: San José – Manuel Antonio
We arrive in San José before heading to Si Como No Resort, our base, which is perched above the Pacific Ocean in Manuel Antonio National Park. We explore the iconic national park—jungle trails, sloths, monkeys, and white-sand beaches—then the afternoons are yours: zipline, raft, kayak, surf, ATV, snorkel, fish… or simply relax poolside or at the beach.
Days 4–5: Savegre River & Jungle Camp
We head inland to the wild Savegre River, stopping for a home-cooked meal with a local family before hiking into Rafiki Safari Lodge, a luxury tent camp deep in the jungle. Think: wildlife everywhere, rocking chairs on elevated decks, and a legendary jungle waterslide.
The next day brings a whitewater rafting adventure (Class II–III), with waterfalls along the way. Or choose nature walks, birding, horseback riding, and night hikes.
Days 6–9: Osa Peninsula – Corcovado & Caño Island
A boat journey through mangroves delivers us to Copa de Árbol Beach & Rainforest Resort in Drake Bay. Over the next few days we explore Corcovado National Park, which is one of the most biologically intense places on Earth, and snorkel the pristine waters of Caño Island Biological Reserve.
There’s also time to choose your own adventure: hiking, wildlife tours, birding, diving, fishing, or simply enjoying this remote rainforest-meets-ocean paradise.
Day 10: Departure
A short flight returns us to San José in time for afternoon international departures

This was not my first BioBio Wilderness Medicine meeting, and it absolutely will NOT be my last. Our trip to Costa Rica far exceeded every expectation that I had. The medical lectures by Sheryl and Larry were very informative and interactive; but the greatest selling point is Costa Rica herself. La Paloma, while not luxurious in the usual sense, was simply magical due to the location and the varied experiences we were able to share while there. Our main local guide Randal was amazing; and in reality all of our guides, boat captains, etc. were very knowledgeable, informative, and passionate about sharing their country with us. Rafiki Lodge was very unique, and the white water rafting on the Sevigre river was amazing [especially the trip to the waterfall]. And then to finish it off with two days in the beautiful [and this time truly luxurious] Manuel Antonio area was incredible. Our main guide for the week, Reynaldo, was simply incredible. He could make you feel his passion for how special a place his country is and especially the Osa area we were focused on. My wife and I have been so impressed by our experiences with BioBio and Wilderness Medicine that we are fully committed to a trip to the Galapagos, a trip to Fiji, and the topper will be a trip to Africa. One of the most unusual things about these trips is that they are very intimate due to the limited numbers involved, so you really do develop relationships; some of which we will go forward with from here. I highly recommend any of these trips to anyone who finds these areas fascinating. You won’t regret it.
