Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to Costa Rica
When you arrive at the airport you will be picked up by the hotel’s shuttle service. After you have checked in you can enjoy one of the hotel’s restaurants, pool area, spa, or why not have a tropical drink in one of the bars? If you arrive early you can go to San Jose center to discover the country’s capital or visit the more luxurious areas of Escazu or Santa Ana for a meal or shopping.
Day 2
Bus & Boat transportation
We start this day early in the morning and there is time for a delicious buffet breakfast before the lodge’s transportation picks us up. The transportation will be in a modern tourist bus and we will pass some beautiful nature and banana plantations. The last part of the transportation will be on boat for about 45 minutes on the river delta until we arrive at the hotel. After the check-in we will do our first tour which is a visit to Tortuguero town where we get to interact with the locals and visit the Caribbean Sea.
Day 3
Riverboat Experience
This day starts early as well as we join our guide to go on a river boat tour where we can see a large number of animals such as crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, many different species of birds, and if we are lucky, sloths too. After our exciting river boat tour, we get to relax for a while and enjoy our lunch. After lunch we will once again join up with our guide and go for a rainforest hike to see more nature and animals.
Day 4
Transportation to Arenal
As this day begins we enjoy our breakfast before we check out and start our next part of our journey towards La Fortuna and Arenal volcano. This transportation itself will show us much beautiful scenery and if we are lucky we get to see more wild animals before we enter the town of La Fortuna and get to see the majestic volcano loom as an amazing backdrop. We will arrive in the afternoon and if you are interested you can additionally reserve a night hike or just enjoy your evening.
Day 5
Waterfalls & Volcanos
We wake up and hope that it will be clear skies so we can see the top of the great volcano Arenal. This day is going to be filled with activities. Our first one is horseback riding to the beautiful waterfall La Fortuna. If you prefer not to do horseback riding you can go by car. After the waterfall we have lunch on our own before we meet up again in the afternoon to join our guide to hike around the Arenal volcano. When we have finished the hike, we go to the hot springs where we enjoy the natural, mineral hot springs where we get to relax before we have our dinner.
Day 6
Monteverde & Lush Rainforest
Today we are leaving beautiful La Fortuna to continue our adventure as we set out for Monteverde and its lush rainforest. We will go by jeep or minivan to the Arenal lake where we get on our boat that will take us across the lake where we are picked up by another jeep or minivan. After we have checked in at the hotel we have the afternoon to explore the town of Santa Elena or you can additionally reserve a coffee tour.
Day 7
Hanging Bridges Experience
Another great day for adventure! We enjoy our breakfast before we depart to experience the mighty rainforest of Monteverde. This guided day will include a hike on suspension bridges or hanging bridges as they are called here. On this hike we get to walk through and see many of the 2,500 plant species in the forest. We will also visit a butterfly garden, a hummingbird garden before we get to do one of Costa Rica’s best ziplines adventures! The night is open to discover one of Santa Elena’s many great restaurants.
Day 8
Back Home
This day of our itinerary starts off with a final Costa Rican breakfast with its black gold--the coffee. Your check-out will depend on your flight back home and we will arrange your transportation so you have plenty of time to get to the airport. This will be goodbye for this time but you are always warmly welcome back to Costa Rica!
