(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 28, 2010 ) SAUSALITO, Calif.—Wildlife is abundant, and so are the savings, when travelers reap the rewards of Costa Rica’s “Little Summer” in July. A little-known weather phenomenon that wildlife lovers in-the-know keep to themselves, July is one of the best times to visit Costa Rica. Flowering trees and fruits attract the most abundant wildlife of the year, and the break in the rainy season provides ideal viewing conditions.
Wild Planet Adventures’ Ultimate Wildlife Eco Tour offers the most affordable value in Costa Rica—as much as twice the value per day of most other other competitive tour operators, including all activities and all meals. With prices beginning at $285 per person, per day, Wild Planet Adventures offers an incredible value and includes all meals, all activities (including naturalist guides and exclusive wildlife viewing activities), all accommodations, all transportation in Costa Rica, and all admissions. Smart savings, coupled with Wild Planet’s unique itinerary and exclusive access, provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Costa Rica. Wild Planet offers 5 departures in July to take advantage of this extraordinary wildlife viewing season.
During this time, tourism dollars offer an increased impact, allowing local naturalist guides to maintain consistent employment and providing funds for non-profit entities, such as the Sloth Rescue Center—which offers exclusive access to Wild Planet Adventures—where travelers can interact with wildlife specialists and meet over 100 unbelievably cute rescued sloths.
In addition to exclusive activities that increase the odds of seeing exotic mammals such as tapir, great green macaws, monkeys, and even jaguars, the “Ultimate Wildlife” itinerary highlights the biodiversity of Costa Rica’s many ecosystems—a paradise of unspoiled beaches, cloud forests, whitewater rapids, volcanoes and hot springs—that spreads through 12 ecological zones.
Both 9- and 14-day tours are available, including wildlife viewing in eight National Parks and Wildlife Preserves, whitewater rafting, cloudforest canopy tour, sea kayaking with dolphins, snorkeling the magical Bioluminescence after dark, beaches on both coasts, hot springs, volcanoes, and a scarlet macaw migration.
Lodging is provided in one-of-a-kind rainforest and jungle lodges. For a detailed itinerary and booking information, visit http://www.wildplanetadventures.com/ or contact trips@wildplanetadventures.com.
