A heated jungle tour in Costa Rica

Our diary was full of pages from Costa Rica that summer. The land of tropical forests, of the heat that forges your endurance in its suffocating temperatures, of the lush plants and the uncharted paths, was stretched before us. 

We left our very first footprint in the capital of San Hose, to continue our journey among the imposing craters of the country's volcanoes in La Fortuna, Poas and Arenal. The altitude and the high temperatures compose a demanding landscape for every traveler and globetrotter.

A several hours drive with destination to Playa Hermosa, revealed in front of our eyes an impressive tropical beach, close to the Montezuma area with the traditional secluded fishing villages, hidden well in the tropical jungle fortress.

Inland and in Monteverde, one realizes why Omni-Freeze and Omni-Shade technologies are no joke with the weather, as they set up a counterweight to the tropical climate, allowing us to track the trails of the jungle. 

In Costa Rica, you can also wander in the natural hot springs, only a short time from the settlements near lively volcanoes. Therefore we couldn't miss the opportunity to explore them, in Tabanon and Baldi where these natural springs are located.

The whole country is reminiscent of a wildlife sanctuary, where plants and animals coexist in an, at times, primitive ecosystem. It is a daring adventure filled with colors and sounds from the depths of the earth. The unspoiled landscape causes you to cross it and get lost in its widths. That is also why your equipment is necessary. 

This unforgettable tracking has helped us discover the unlimited possibilities of our new clothes, in a journey of experiences, images and trials of a #TestedTough identity that has deservedly earned its name.
