Costa Rica Overland Adventure
While you may have been to Costa Rica, this is an opportunity to see parts of the country that tourists rarely venture into. You will be driving Land Cruiser 150's (upfitted with GMRS radios and Mud Terrain tires) on amazing back roads and trails, while each evening, enjoying some of the coolest luxury accommodations that Costa Rica has to offer. Some of the highlights of this itinerary include beaches, jungle trails, hanging bridges, exotic animals, and a night in a treehouse!
​
While we have arranged some special boutique luxury accommodations from beach resorts to remote jungle camps for the evenings, the days will be filled with the adventurous overlanding experiences you have come to expect from Four Points. We will navigate mud, rivers, and remote mountain roads that will provide great overland training opportunities and the chance to put that training to the test in real-time situations.
You may already be familiar with Costa Rica but the safe, politically stable, and friendly vibe coupled with some truly remote back-country opportunities brings Costa Rica to the top of our list for foriegn (tropical) overlanding destinations. It is a great way to combine an exotic warm weather vacation with some overland fun in an environment that is predictable and easily navigated culturally. We have lined up some great food and cultural stops along the way and I am excited to offer this to a special group as Four Points Adventures begins to venture beyond North America.
