Costa Rica & Panama Adventure

This morning you will set off for the lush mountaintop paradise of Monteverde. Nestled between two primary cloud forest reserves, the high altitude of the town, some 1440 metres above sea level, results in a steady supply of clouds. The moisture from these clouds catches on the branches of the tallest trees and drips down to the other organisms below, supporting a complex and far-reaching ecosystem. Over 100 species of mammals, thousands of insect species and over 2500 varieties of plants all thrive here. Once you have checked in to your hotel, the remainder of the day is at your leisure.

You will be transferred to La Fortuna in Arenal by private vehicle. Once a sleepy town, the Arenal Volcano erupted violently after almost 400 years of dormancy and the town became the jumping off point for people in search of fiery night skies and creeping lava. The amazing scenery of the area, the scenic Lake Arenal, numerous nearby hot springs and adventure activities have made La Fortuna one of the most popular regions in Costa Rica.

In the afternoon you will meet your guide and do some hiking in the secondary forest around the Arenal Volcano National Park. The area contains a great wealth of geologic and biological complexity and you will hike over the lava fields at the foot of the volcano, one of the most active in the Americas. To end the day, soak away any weary muscles at the nearby hot springs. Enjoy a soothing bath in the natural pools with a refreshing waterfall shower against the backdrop of beautiful, tropical gardens and under a starry sky.
