Coast to Coast Rainforest Trek for Charity, Costa Rica
From Mt Irazu (3432m), the highest volcano in Costa Rica, through coffee plantations and dense tropical rainforest to a beautiful tropical beach, this trek has it all.
Costa Rica has a huge variety of landscapes, climates and environments. It is home to five per cent of the planet’s biodiversity. Everything from palm tree-lined tropical beaches to smoking volcanoes; cloud forest, rainforest and mangrove swamp awaits us in Costa Rica!
Our challenging trek will take us from the slopes of Irazu, the highest volcano in Costa Rica at 3432m through plantations of coffee, forests of oak, cloud forest and dense tropical rainforest. We finish on a beautiful tropical beach.
