Accommodation

Each package you choose includes a different style of accommodation. If you choose a shared room, we will do our best to make sure the room is shared by another participant of the same sex or by friends that you choose.   Most packages offer shared rooms that aim to provide a summer camp-style sleeping arrangement.  Quepos is a hot and tropical area so if you're sensitive to heat or humidity, make sure you choose an air-conditioned package. All participants will have access to our rooftop glamping-style accommodation and can sleep in this area instead of their included accommodation if they want. Participants will trade off sleeping on the rooftop if it's a popular choice among the group. 

Transportation

Flights are not included in your package. You will need to buy round-trip flights to San Jose International Airport (SJO). Included with your package is transportation to and from San Jose airport. Your package also includes transportation for all planned activities and outings.
