A Multi-Element course organized for a new and improved you to be back
at work the next week... We took our classic 15-day course and rearranged
it for adults to take off only one week of work and do it all. You will hike
through the rainforest, live and eat with a Mestizo family, rappel down a waterfall,
whitewater raft through the jungle and surf the Pacific ocean. In eight days,
you can take in the best this country has to offer.
This is your only chance to celebrate the New Year in the jungle.....
For the whole week you can avoid the post-Christmas sales, the frozen sidewalks
and snow by coming down to Costa Rica for our condensed adult winter multi-element
course. You will hike through the rainforest, rappel down waterfalls, raft down
Class III and IV rapids, and interact with people who have never even seen snow.
It’s a great opportunity to test yourself to see if you’ve still
got it and retreat to the jungle to contemplate the past and upcoming years.

Our clients recommend combining the Multi-Element and Surf courses to have
one spectacular adventure. The beaches are just too beautiful and the surf too
amazing to only spend one day having fun and relaxing, most people believe that
you have to do both to truly experience all of what Costa Rica has to offer.
By effectively completing one course after the other, our clients take advantage
of flight costs and are more efficient use of their vacation time. Trust
us, 8 days in Costa will not be enough! You will want to stay longer, so take
both courses and have a once in a lifetime trip!
