-To travel to Costa Rica, an identity document and a passport with a minimum validity of 6 months are required.
-It is the client’s responsibility to check the entry and visa requirements of the countries to which they are traveling or through which they are passing.

-We remember that to visit the United States, it is necessary to have a digitized electronic-readable passport.
Since January 2009, travelers with flights with a stopover in the United States have been required to have Electronic Travel Authorization (ESTA). The airlines do not allow name changes, so it is very important to verify that the names provided are the same as those reflected in the passport.
*In addition, recently, the US authorities have changed the regulations for the entry of tourists, so that all those who have traveled to Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, or Syria since March 2011, must apply for a visa at the embassy (even if they have the ESTA previously granted) and will not be eligible for the tourist visa exemption program. This includes passengers traveling to other destinations, with a technical stopover in the United States.
On flights to or via the USA, it is mandatory to carry a smartphone or tablet charged.
It is the traveler’s responsibility to confirm this information with that provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its website.

-Ultimate Wild Trip recommends always using direct flights or flights with stops in countries without visa restrictions.

-At the end of the health form, a QR code is generated that the client can save on their mobile phone or print. This QR code must be presented when entering the country.

-The health form also must be presented at the time of check-in. Otherwise, some airlines refuse to board.

Weather:

In Costa Rica we can distinguish two seasons:
-Rainy season or wet season: It is in winter from May to November.
-Dry season: It is in summer, from December to April.
Although there are great variations between different regions. The Caribbean slope has more rains during the year. The Pacific area, especially Guanacaste, is much drier. The temperature remains fairly constant throughout the year (between 23ºC and 30ºC) and with a high degree of humidity.
In rainforests such as Monteverde and El Arenal, there is a particular microclimate where rains are present throughout the year.
During the rainy season, the worst months to visit the Pacific area, especially the southern area, are September and October. In fact, the Corcovado National Park closes throughout October and is when the most torrential rains occur. It is also when the country is greener and its fauna and flora most spectacular.
However, in the Caribbean area, in September and October, the rains are reduced and a dry season microclimate is created. In the same way in the Arenal Volcano area during those 2 months.

-Ultimate Wild Trip offsets 100% of the CO2 footprint produced, both by our office and by our clients’ trips.

-We are the first tour operator to calculate and show you the CO2 footprint of all our tour packages during the booking process. And additionally, we allow you to offset it in different reforestation projects, in the neediest rural areas on the planet.
-In addition, we are committed to rewarding your environmental responsibility. If you voluntarily offset the CO2 footprint of your trip, Ultimate Wild Trip will donate the same amount to conservation projects, humanitarian causes, and community projects, of the destinations you visit.

Do you know the important benefits of planting trees?

-Your offset not only reduces polluting emissions, and slows down catastrophic climate change.
-By reforesting, you return the home to fauna and flora, which are in danger of becoming extinct in many ecosystems.
-The danger of flooding is reduced, due to the absorption of water from the roots of the trees, soil erosion is improved, and landslides are avoided.
-By planting trees, you stop the risk of desertification and avoid land degradation.
-In countries with famine and chronic malnutrition, food products derived from trees are a complement to agricultural crops and provide important micronutrients. Fruit trees are much more resistant to drought than agricultural crops.
-2.7 billion people live on less than $ 2 a day. Agroforestry and reforestation increase the productivity of the land, creating jobs and a secure and diverse source of income. Preserving the productivity of the land is key to avoiding massive migrations, economic crises, and humanitarian crises.

What C02 footprint does my trip produce?

To calculate the CO2 footprint of a trip, we first calculate the percentage of sustainability of the trip, based on the environmental responsibility of their suppliers. To this percentage of sustainability, we assign a coefficient or numerical value, previously reduced. Subsequently, we multiply this coefficient by the total gross emissions, and we obtain the calculation of the final net emissions.

-CO2 footprint to offset = 2,99 ton CO2

-Cost of offsetting the footprint in certified reforestation projects: approximately 31,4 euros.
