Arrival and reception at the airport, transfer to your city hotel in San José.

Pick up your rental car in your hotel and drive to the Northern Lowlands, to La Fortuna at the Arenal Volcano. Before you can take a look around in the capital city, take a coffee tour on the slopes of the Poás Volcano or visit the La Paz Waterfall Gardens in Vara Blanca.

In the immediate surroundings of the volcano, which is calm right now, you can find a lot of different activities in a spectacular setting, today you can choose out of the following: Hiking, riding a bike, horseback riding, kayak, zip-lining, and much more. Enjoy!

Next stop: Cloud forest. You’re driving around the dam lake Arenal until Tilarán and hike up to the cloud forest paradise Monteverde. The cold mountain breeze offers a magical forest that you’ll get to know these days.

There are differently formed epiphytes, moss, ferns and colourful birdlife as well as cool temperatures. Experience Costa Rica from another point of view, from above, on the hanging bridges in Selvatura Park!

Drive to the northern province of Guanacaste near the Rincón de la Vieja National Park. Here you experience the dry forest and volcanic formations of the colossus up close

On a trail on the Las Pailas sector in the national park, you see bubbling mud holes and fumaroles that smell a lot like sulfur. After the hike, a refreshing river or the thermal hot springs invite you to relax.

You return to the Central Valley where you drop off your car directly at the airport and travel home. Tip: Plan enough time for this drive because there may be delays due to single-lane streets.
