Continuing Medical Education: Costa Rica Rafting - Corcovado National Park - Rainforests

This Wilderness and Marine Medicine Continuing Medical Education Conference combines two world-class adventures in Costa Rica one trip. First, we travel to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica to raft the incredibly beautiful Pacuare River near Tortuguero National Park, named one of the best in the world by National Geographic Magazine. Lush vegetation, a wide variety of wildlife (such as jaguars, monkeys, sloths, ocelots, and a diversity of birds), waterfalls, pools, and a pristine rainforest are found along its course.

We stay at the beautiful Pacuare Jungle Lodge, before flying to Corcovado National Park and the Cano Island Biological Reserve. This paradise is a combination of tropical wilderness and beaches, recognized across the world as one of the most biologically rich areas on Earth.

Our accommodations there will be the spectacular La Paloma Lodge. Regarded as one of the best eco-lodges in Costa Rica. La Paloma has a variety of great activities including hiking, snorkeling, scuba, natural history trips.
