Jah Love Dreamer: Caribbean Surfari

Introduction

Playa CoclesThe Caribbean coast is quite different than the Pacific as you will find it is not as nearly built up and the culture/atmosphere is even more laid back than other parts of Costa Rica. And that's pretty laid back.

This tour definitely embraces the Caribbean "Jah" attitude. You'll be staying at the Azania Bungalows, close to surf and other adventures.

There are a number of great surf breaks in the area, including Salsa Brava ("Thick Sauce"). The Azania is actually right on Playa Cocles (another great break).

In addition to 6 days in paradise and surfing, you will be taking a fantastic Canopy tour directly from the hotel.

Pura Vida!
