DAY 2 ARENAL VOLCANO


During the morning you will visit the Arenal Hanging Bridges, which is one of the most beautiful environmental-friendly projects in Costa Rica. The tour takes place on a 600 acre reserve filled with lush
vegetation and a variety of birds and animals. During this guided naturalist walk, you will discover the rainforest canopy from an unrivaled perspective, showing you the fascinating and colorful tropical rainforest
world. Also, the impressive views of the Volcano from the hanging bridges over the rainforest will provide an unforgettable moment.
During the afternoon, you will visit the world-famous Tabacón Hot Springs. These natural hot springs feature a hot river that flows through a series of pools. From cascading falls to tropical gardens, the hot springs are the result of rainwater heated by magma in the earth’s interior. Once heated, the waters rise to the surface, taking with them minerals found in the earth’s rocky crust; this way, waters become very therapeutic to your body, as the temperature helps to relax muscles, clean pores and rejuvenate the skin. Tabacón is a very unique location full of natural jewels, and a “must-see” for anyone staying in the Arenal area. (B/D)

DAY 3 ARENAL VOLCANO


Today you have the entire day to explore the region at your leisure. We highly recommend a visit to Arenal Volcano National Park (at an extra cost), that protects an active perfect cone volcano with constant moderate explosions accompanied by roar, gases and ash emissions that raise high in the air. The attraction of this volcano has helped to develop the area as a prime destination in the country; from being a small town of cattle and agricultural farms, it has become one of the most popular tourist areas with hotels, tour attractions, adventure activities, hot springs and water sports. You’ll have a number of other options to choose from in the area – Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge, Venado Caves, La Fortuna Waterfall, and other activities such as river floating, nature walks, hot springs, zip-lines, cultural activities, canyoning, rafting, hiking and horseback riding.
