Day 2: Sunday - Journey to La Fortuna & Hot Springs Relaxation

Day 3: Monday - Arenal Volcano & Waterfall Adventure

Morning: Enjoy breakfast at your hotel.

Morning: Arenal Volcano National Park Hike: Embark on a guided hike through Arenal Volcano National Park. Explore trails like the 1968 Trail, offering views of old lava flows and the majestic Arenal Volcano (weather permitting). La Fortuna Waterfall: Hike down to the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the natural pool at its base (be prepared for steps!). Afternoon: Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges: Experience the rainforest from a unique perspective by walking across a series of hanging bridges, observing the canopy and potentially spotting wildlife like monkeys, sloths, and diverse bird species. Evening: Consider a "Night Walk" Tour to spot nocturnal animals in the rainforest.

Transfer to La Fortuna: Take a shared or private shuttle to La Fortuna. This scenic drive will take approximately 3-4 hours. Afternoon: Check into your hotel in La Fortuna . Hot Springs: Spend the late afternoon and evening relaxing at one of La Fortuna's famous hot springs (e.g., Tabacón (has not been available lately unless you are staying at their hotel and having been recently sold, we shall have to wait and see if access improves), or a more local, quieter option). This natural hydrotherapy is the way to achieve proper relaxation. The river-pool temperatures range from 72 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a perfect way to unwind after your travel day. Evening: Dinner at one of the many good local restaurants available in La Fortuna.
