Explore the area around the Arenal Volcano, characterised by 30,000-hectare rainforest, and home to a great variety of flora and fauna. Go on a 20-minute boat ride on the largest and the most important lake in Costa Rica and enjoy stunning landscapes while our guide informs you about the place’s history. After your forest adventure, indulge in a Costa Rican lunch and take a revitalising trip to nearby thermal pools which are naturally heated by the Arenal Volcano.
The Arenal National Park is home to some of the most incredible natural wonders in the region. From walking on suspension bridges in the rainforest to taking a boat ride across Arenal Lake and relaxing in natural hot springs, this full-day tour allows you to experience the best this area has to offer.
Enjoy a memorable experience at the Palo Verde National Park, a biological community that is home to 750 species of plants, 280 species of birds, 26 species of mammals, and several kinds of reptiles. Take a boat tour to spot some of this stunning wildlife before stopping for a delicious lunch. Later, visit a 30-metre-high waterfall called Llanos del Cortés where you can swim or take a nap in the sand. Finally, visit Liberia City to explore the sights and scenes of the largest city in Guanacaste.
Talk about variety: this tour explores the unique ecosystem of the Palo Verde National Park and then showcases the urban charm of Liberia city, all in a span of eight hours, while giving you ample time to sightsee, relax, swim at a waterfall and even go shopping!
Capital City: San Jose
Population: 5 Million
Language: The official language is Spanish, and Costa Rica also recognises regional indigenous languages like Bribri, Maleku, Cabécar, Bocotá, Guaymí and Mekatelyu
Currency: The country’s official currency is the Costa Rica colon (₡). ATMs are found throughout Costa Rica, accepting most debit and credit cards, whilst banks and money exchange counters (only found at the airport) exchange most major foreign currencies. However, most of the local businesses accept the American USD, therefore, if travellers have them there is no need to exchange.
More than 70 countries and territories, plus all European Union nations, can visit Costa Rica without a visa for either 30 or 90 days. Some guests from countries that need visas to visit can apply for one at the Costa Rica consulate. Other nationalities require a “Costa Rica Restricted Visa”, which needs to be applied for by someone else who is already in Costa Rica. There is something of a loophole though – visitors from countries that need a visa for Costa Rica are exempt from this requirement if they hold a valid tourist visa for the United States, Canada, an EU member state, a Schengen country, Japan, or South Korea.
