Day 1: Arrival in San Jose and Transfer to Arenal
The guide will meet travellers at the airport, then it’s straight into the action with a transfer to Arenal and a hike on the slopes of the volcano. With two trails going through the rainforest and lava fields, visitors can see the leftover lava rocks and boulders from the 1968 eruption and walk through the forest to get impressive views of Arenal Volcano and the lake. In the evening, rest up those muscles in the thermal hot springs, naturally heated by the nearby volcano.
Day 2: Free day to explore Arenal National Park
Enjoy a free day at leisure or choose one of our fantastic optional experiences.
Day 3: Transfer to Monteverde
Enjoy the drive from Arenal to Monteverde, witnessing the change of climates and admiring cute villages peppered with elegant wooden cabins. After checking in to the hotel near downtown Saint Elena, it’s time for a coffee tour. Learn about the coffee process, from seed germination to farming, harvesting, and roasting. It is an in-depth experience of coffee in its environmental, social, and economic context. Enjoy lunch at the farm and, of course, taste some of the amazing Costa Rican coffee.
