Atlantic Forest

Atlantic Forest

The Atlantic Forest is a lush, biodiverse haven stretching along Brazil’s eastern coast, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its iconic landscapes and rich cultural heritage. From Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo, the forest covers rugged mountains and coastline.

Further south, Iguassu Falls stuns with thundering cascades of water framed by forest trails. The cobblestone streets and colonial architecture of the seaside town Paraty are backed by jungle-clad mountains, while nearby Fernando de Noronha provides an island escape where the forest gives way to crystal-clear waters, perfect for diving and marine life exploration.

Heading north, the Atlantic Forest embraces Bahia and the vibrant city of Salvador, where Afro-Brazilian culture and tropical greenery intertwine, offering a sensory journey of music, dance, and nature.

Working with Journey Costa Rica has been an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, I feel like the team listened to our needs and provided insight into making our trip even more magical than we could have dreamed of. They were direct and thoughtful in choosing accommodations, and the private touring with excellent guides made us feel like we were discovering a new and undiscovered side of Costa Rica. I will absolutely travel with them again and recommend them to others going to the destination!

Everything was truly exceptional! From the resorts, to the experiences, to the transportation! The pre-trip service provided by Javier and Nadya was extremely responsive, very professional & they created a very special journey for us. Once we arrived here in Costa Rica, Sally was particularly responsive, professional and extremely helpful.

Edwin Duarte was top-notch. Terrific at spotting animals and sharing interesting information about Costa Rica’s history and natural life. He was thoughtful and considerate, helping us out as needed. All of the drivers were excellent. The cooking at Dona Priscilla’s house was wonderful. Zip-lining company did a super job. Resorts were awesome. Feedback is to have the meal post-Arenal Volcano visit and cooking at Priscilla’s house on different days.
