Today you will hike to the beautiful La Fortuna Waterfall, one of the most popular natural attractions in the area. Afterwards, you will experience authentic Costa Rican culture at Vida Campesina where you will have a guided journey of the property and have the opportunity to gather your own organically produced tubers, fruits, and vegetables. Learn about the traditional process of milling sugar cane and enjoy a refreshing juice squeezed in the handmade trapiche. At La Guaria Morada restaurant, learn to prepare traditional Costa Rican recipes with a local family and participate in a rural, traditional dance before enjoying a family dinner together.
Start your day with a delicious local breakfast at your hotel as you prepare for an exciting day exploring Arenal Volcano. Your day will include two hikes through Arenal Volcano National Park, where a naturalist guide will share the history and wildlife of the area, including a hike through the 1992 lava flow and a hike to the shores of Lake Arenal for a panoramic view of both the volcano and lake. After the hike, cool off with a cold drink before embarking on a boat tour of Lake Arenal to a spot known as “el tapón.” After the tour, you will have the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in the local hot springs for the afternoon.
Get ready for an adventure-filled day in Costa Rica! Start the morning with an exciting zip-line tour through the rainforest canopy of Arenal Park. The zipline tour starts with a tour in the Sky Tram to reach the top of the Arenal reserve, then begins a tour of adventure full of adrenaline above the treetops, which consists of a system of zip lines that allows you to observe the rainforest and its landscape from a different perspective. After the zip-line, enjoy a delicious lunch before embarking on a Hanging Bridges Adventure, where our experts will guide you through the forest and reveal its secrets. You will have the opportunity to appreciate the balance of the mystical life that happens every moment during the excursion. In the evening, explore the natural beauty of Danaus Ecocentro on a night walk tour, where you will have the opportunity to observe different species of nocturnal fauna in their natural habitats, such as frogs, snakes, insects, bats, skunks and even active sloths. The tour takes about 2 hours with a professional guide from the reserve and is a great way to end the day.
Start your last day in Costa Rica with a delicious breakfast, and then transfer to the San Jose Airport for your journey back home. We hope you had an amazing time exploring this beautiful country and we look forward to your next trip with us. Safe travels!
