MAIN ITINERARY

Day 1 - Arrive to San Jose, Costa Rica

Day 2 - San Jose to Tortuguero
Begin your adventure with an early ride to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. You will have the chance of driving across the city of San Jose and experiencing the early start of this very populated area. Upon leaving the city, the landscape will become a combination of active volcanoes and coffee plantations, which are located in the central mountain range. Suddenly, the scenario will transform into a beautiful and unsuspected area of pristine forest, the Braulio Carrillo National Park. This is a tropical forest in the back yard of San Jose, and this first visual contact with the rain forest will come accompanied with an explanation of how the geological formation of the country took place. As the journey continues, the scenery will include farm land where banana, pineapple, and ornamental plantations will show part of the everyday activity of the Costa Rican economy.

The ground transportation will be exchanged for water transportation as you prepare to enter Tortuguero. The boat trip will take you through a combination of lagoons and rivers where the scenery and wildlife will give you a reason to be using your cameras constantly until you reach the remote location of Tortuguero. (La Baula Lodge or similar)

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

Day 3 - Tortuguero National Park

Keep an eye out for monkeys, iguanas, and caimans, which are plentiful in this area of the country. Experience a breath-taking natural wetland established all around the location of the hotel. The first thing you have to expect in this area will be rain, as well as the chance to see a diverse amount of tropical fauna.

During the afternoon, enjoy a chance to relax at the swimming pool of the lodge, or if you rather, explore the beautiful botanical gardens of the area. This is also a good opportunity to visit the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC) and learn about the program of sea turtles and the sustainable project this unique community has.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

Day 4 - Tortuguero National Park, Arenal Volcano Region
Catch the boat again and travel back to the ground transportation to begin a visit to one of the most famous regions of the country - Arenal Volcano. This area is very prosperous due to the active pyroclastic mountain and its effect on the richness of the volcanic soil. You will pass by many small villages along the way, which will demonstrate the constant movement of an active society and a wide variety of cultural groups.

During the evening, relax at the base of the Arenal Volcano while you enjoy the warmth of the natural hot springs.

Day 5 - Arenal Volcano National Park
In the morning, you will take the ziplining excursion, one of the most exciting experiences we have in Costa Rica. In order to explore the treetops and enjoy the rain forest from a different perspective, the canopy ride has become an interesting way of getting to know that specific area of the forest which was limited to scientists for a long time. Swinging through the forest by way of platforms and transversals is part of what many visitors consider the most memorable times while being in Costa Rica. If your touristic preferences do not lean toward the adventurous side, you can spend the morning strolling through the shops and immersing yourself in the culture of Fortuna, San Carlos.

After lunch, your Tour Guide will take you to a beautiful trail just by the volcano in Arenal Volcano National Park where you will have the chance to learn about the different volcanic aspects of the country.
