At Discover Corps, we want our travelers to be fully prepared and choose the trip that will offer the best experience while accommodating all physical abilities. Please read the points below carefully to determine if this trip is the right fit for you.
This Costa Rica getaway is designed for travelers who value authentic experiences, nature, and meaningful connection over luxury isolation. Before booking, here are a few important things to know to make sure this trip is the right fit for you.
Travel & Transportation
The journey includes a 2–3 hour drive from the airport to Turrialba.
Roads in Costa Rica are windy and mountainous, especially as you move into rural areas.
If you are prone to motion or car sickness, we strongly recommend bringing Gravol, Dramamine, or ginger chews, and sitting near the front of the vehicle.
The scenery is beautiful — but it is a real road trip.
Weather: Warm, Tropical & Unpredictable
Costa Rica is a tropical country, and rain is part of daily life, even outside of the rainy season.
You may experience brief afternoon showers or light rain, and occasionally longer rain periods.
Activities continue rain or shine — rain rarely stops the experience, and often enhances the lush landscape.
Quick-dry clothing, rain jackets, and a flexible mindset go a long way.
Nature, Bugs & Wildlife
You are traveling in a biodiverse rainforest environment, not a sealed resort.
Insects are present, including mosquitoes, ants, and occasional geckos or small bugs.
Even in nice, clean boutique hotels, it is not uncommon for bugs to enter rooms — this is normal in tropical climates.
Hotels are well maintained, comfortable, and safe — but they are part of nature, not separate from it.
Insect repellent and a sense of humor are essential 😉
