The trip you'll still be talking about next April
Wonder & Wander is a small-group trip for lesbian women, hosted by Annie and her wife Sam. It's Annie's first international retreat, built for the Liberated Lesbian community and for anyone who has been waiting for a reason to finally go.
We start in San José, head north into the rainforest around Arenal Volcano, then finish on the beach in Jacó. Every day has room for adventure and room to rest. You decide how hard you want to play.

The questions everyone asks
I don't know anyone going. Is that okay?
Yes. Plenty of women book group trips on their own. You'll have Annie and Sam from day one, a local guide the whole way, and a small group of lesbian women who picked the same adventure. Join in as much as you like. Quiet time on the beach counts too.
How active is this trip?
Expect a farm visit, a hike near Arenal Volcano, a swim at La Fortuna Waterfall, and sea kayaking. Ziplining, snorkeling, and Manuel Antonio National Park are optional. You decide how hard you want to play.
What's included, and what isn't?
Hotels, a local guide for the whole trip, in-country transfers, and breakfast every morning are covered. Flights are not. A private room, optional activities, and travel insurance are add-ons. The TrovaTrip page lists every inclusion.
Where do I fly in and out?
Fly into San José on April 13. On April 19 we ride back to San José together for your flight home.
How does payment work?
$626.25 (25% of the base price) holds your spot. The TrovaTrip booking page shows the rest of the payment schedule before you commit to anything.
Is this trip for me?
If you're a lesbian woman who wants a week of rainforest, waterfalls, and beach with women who get it, yes. That includes women who came out later in life, women still finding their footing, and women who simply need a break from being everything for everyone.
