Day 2: Day off in Arenal with Optional activities


Breakfast in Arenal in designated hotel PK

Recommended activities in Arenal Volcano

Apart from enjoying the Hot Springs in Arenal you can do different activities related to the nature of the place. This day I recommend that you do two of the following activities or at least one.


Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park

Hike in the Hanging Bridges of Místico Park (https://www.misticopark.com/) - In this park you can enjoy nature and see animals such as snakes, monkeys, arachnids and different types of birds. The park offers several types of activities, so I recommend you to take a look at their website. The place is impressive and the visit is well worth it. a highlight of your Costa Rica vacation.

The entrance to the park without guide costs around 26 usd per person and with guide 42 usd. If you decide to visit without a guide, be careful not to disturb the animals. The advantage of going with a guide is that they have a very trained eye to see animals. The advantage of going without a guide is that you can make the visit more calmly and at your own pace.

The park offers a night tour experience to watch the animals. If you are brave this experience is highly recommended.


Hike to the Viewpoint of Arenal Volcano

There are several companies that offer this expedition. Honestly for me it was the activity that I liked the least because the volcano can be seen from many points quite well. The hike does not bring you too close to the volcano and does not require much effort.


Visit to La Fortuna WaterFall

La Fortuna Waterfall (https://www.cataratalafortuna.com/) - During the visit to the Fortuna Waterfall you take a walk though the jungle to arrive to the waterfall. In the park there are activities such as horseback riding and zip lines. I personally think that the best way to visit this park is to walk on your own. I recommend you to check their website in advance to prepare your visit.

Detail

This is an amazing trip specially designed for nature and adventure lovers. Costa Rica is one of the countries in the world with the most impressive and marvelous diversity of flora and fauna.

In 6 magnificent days you will explore with your own 4x4 car some of the most beautiful natural wonders of Costa Rica. The trip starts in San Jose International Airport (SJO) where you will start your drive directly to Arenal where you will see its Volcano.

In Arenal there are many activities that you can do where you can enjoy of nature, relax and also do some activities full of adrenaline. If you read the description of the itinerary, I have planned you will see what, when, and how to do the best activities in Arenal and it surroundings. Some of the options I have planned for you include hikes, zip lines, waterfalls, springs and thermal water piscine.

Also, for those who book this itinerary I will share some information that will help you enjoy more your trip.

After having a good time in Arenal we will move to the cloud forest of Costa Rica in Monteverde. This place is one of my favorite places because the forest and the nature is so intense that really makes me wonder. There is one mythical bird that is unique in the world and that, if we are lucky, we will be able to see. Birdwatchers will find in Monteverde its Nirvana.

Finally, I will suggest you doing a super adrenalinic activity in one of the most amazing adventure parks I have visited in all the world. Activities such as flying in zip-lines as superman and doing the bungee jump is the normality here.  

The lodgement I suggest is the best in each destination to give you the necessary comfort to enjoy of this adventure and, not only have a good rest, but to also help you experience the destination itself.
