The first full day of your adventure tour package in Costa Rica starts with breakfast at the hotel. Next, there will be a tour of the Arenal Volcano, and hot springs. If you are lucky, you can see lava or even a spectacular eruption from this impressive volcano. En route, stop at Sarchi, a town that is known for its crafts and souvenirs. Have lunch in a cozy restaurant with a magnificent view of the Arenal Volcano.
After lunch, visit Arenal Lake where you can relax at thermal natural springs, one of the best thermal water places in this area, coupled with the 500 species of plants and flowers. Tabacon Resort has five different pools with temperatures ranging from 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) in an Eco-friendly environment. After dinner, your driver will take you back to your hotel.
Today, you’ll have a tour of the Arenal Sky Tram, and Sky Trek. The Sky tram offers great views of the rainforest, the lake, and the Arenal Volcano. The Sky Tram has slow-paced gondolas, coupled with short stops to take pictures. For those who want some more adrenaline, you can participate with the Sky Trek, a canopy tour. The canopy has a total length of 1.7 miles and a maximum height of 660 feet.
Alongside the sight of the fabulous Volcano Arenal, savor the delicious rainforest excursion, coming up with the antique mystery of chocolate: from its revelation and use, in lush Latin America, to the preparation of the good we know and savor today.
Our guests will have the chance to discover fascinating characteristics of cocoa and chocolate, from its root and history, engaging in all the manufacturing courses, from the harvesting of the product, drying and grinding of the seed, also the establishing of the classical drink of our forefathers, and certainly tasting a great quality organic chocolate.
Join this expedition through the history, culture, folklore, aroma, and essence of organic chocolate.
After breakfast, take a shared boat transfer to Monteverde. After crossing the Arenal Lake, you will arrive at a small river, where a bus will take you to the hotel in Monteverde.
Our nature-loving outing includes the longest cables for zip lining in the country and can be found at Selvatura Park in Monteverde. The tour consists of 15 cables and 18 platforms for an amazing perspective. Another way to explore the forest is by going to a Tree Top walkway. This walkway consists of 8 suspension bridges connected by trails. The track is around 1.9 miles (3km). The bridges vary from 150 ft (50m) to 500 ft (170m) and the heights differ from 36ft (12m) to 180ft (60m).
Everyone of all ages is allowed in the Hanging Bridges. The tours last up to 2 hours. The Monteverde Butterfly Garden is the best place to see the colorful butterflies. Similarly, the Hummingbird Gallery is a must if you want to see colorful birds. Like other tours, today includes the entrance fees of these wonderful sights, a bilingual naturalist guide, and transportation.
Our shuttle will drive you to Tamarindo beach, which takes approximately 5 hours. Tamarindo beach is a beautiful beach where you can relax. It is known as a multicultural hot spot and one of the most popular beaches, if not the most popular beach in Costa Rica. At Tamarindo beach, you will find a mix of high-end clothing stores, handicrafts stores, and restaurants with a Costa Rican flavor.
Today, you will visit the Rincón de la Vieja National Park. This is a national park that is relatively undiscovered. Due to its remoteness, a great population of wildlife can be discovered.
