Best Experience in Costa Rica "Private Expedition"

​

Day 1  

​

Welcome to Costa Rica

Your guide will be waiting outside the arrivals terminal with a sign with your names on it. After leaving the airport, you begin the journey to the town of La Fortuna at the base of the Arenal Volcano. Having dominated the skyline for many years the volcano is still an impressive site. Resting on the hills and slopes of the valley and tucked within the lush landscape, you will find your hotel. This is a beautiful property to relax in and enjoy breathtaking views. The property boasts extensive gardens, a spa and  swimming pools.

 

 

Day 2

Whitewater Rafting
Bring on the adrenaline! Challenge yourself to the thrilling, class 3-4 Costa Rica rafting with lots of exciting, continuous rapids right near the Arenal Volcano! Costa Rica whitewater rafting is considered some of the best in the world. Drop in to over 45-continuous rapids along more than 16 kilometers of deep-canyon gorges and waterfalls where you will probably see sloths, monkeys and tropical birds, such as toucans and the Montezuma Oropendula. Stop along the way for a nice, tropical fruit break and afterward you will be taken out for a typical Costa Rican “casado” lunch. Breakfast and lunch included.

 

Day 3
Hanging Bridges, Ziplines, Hot Springs

Sky Trek, Sky Tram – the complete combo! Discover a birds eye view of the volcano, lake and rainforest as you travel up in open air cable cars to explore the suspended bridges before speeding back down to earth along almost two miles of zip lines. Start with an in-formative and interesting walk along jungle trails and hanging bridges, with a naturalist guide, and learn all about the flora, fauna, the history and culture of the area. Afterwards ride the open gondola up through the dense rainforest to the unique volcano observation deck. From there you will have great photography opportunities with treetop views of the tropical rainforest. See the jungle from a different perspective and maybe see some different creatures that inhabit it. Return to the ground below by ziplining a series of cables across the tree canopies and canyons. This is an exhilarating fun way to see the rainforest and the beauty of the area. After all that excitement you will be ready to soak in the therapeutic hot-springs of Ecotermales  These natural springs are a part of the Fortuna River and are set amongst beautifully manicured gardens. Find your own little piece of paradise to unwind and relax in before taking dinner  at Ecotermales.

Day 4
Volcano Hike and Night walk

​

The Arenal Volcano is active since 1968, it constantly ejects gases, water, fumaroles and explosions with pyroclastic material emissions, and sometimes the eruptions are accompanied with powerful thunders.
The ash is carried by the wind over long distances especially to the northwest area of the volcano. The biggest and heaviest material falls close to the crater.
A short hike in one of the trails close to the volcano area will give us the chance to enjoy some forest and the activity around it.

Afterwards we visit Arenal Oasis  to enjoy the nocturnal wonder of Arenal.
