ARENAL / LA FORTUNA - VOLCANO & HOT SPRINGS

Arenal is so enjoyable due to the cooler climate and the variety of things to do or not do in one area.  The hot springs are a must do and we know a number of good spots depending on the experience you're looking for. If you're up for a hike, the hike around the volcano has some spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities as well.

You'll want to spend some time at the lake – perhaps dining at one of the many international restaurants nearby or getting right in and paddling around on a kayak. From coffee tours nearby to waterfalls this lush green area of Costa Rica will be one you'll always remember.

​

Arenal and La Fortuna can be combined with a rafting trip down the Pacuare River or a trip over to Tortuguero.  It's a great way to start or end the trip due to its relatively close proximity to San Jose
