Day 1-2

Drop into San José international airport, grab your bags, and grab a air-conditioned van to the Arenal Volcano region! You first few days will be spent enjoying the majestic views of an active volcano at a very special hot springs hotel, Arenal Kioro.

The Kioro is just 10 kilometers from La Fortuna in San Carlos, with a spectacular view of Arenal Volcano. Family run and friendly and great personal service.

It's surrounded by two streams with clear waters that flow from the nearby National Park. Only 53 chalet suites with international restaurant on premises, and a breathtaking panoramic view (every room has two terraces. Arenal is an active volcano, sometimes with spectacular lava flows at night!

Your stay includes unlimited access to their local thermal waters nearby.

If you feel more adventurous, may we suggest attaching one of our featured Arenal tours which include biking, horseback riding, ecoTours and fishing in Lake Arenal! We certainly suggest the overland 2 Mountains Horseback Riding tour between Arenal and Monteverde; pack your bags onto your horse, or for a small fee have them driven from Arenal to Monteverde! There is no better way to see inland Costa Rica!

Day 3-4

From Arenal Volcano to Monteverde Mountain - and the mysterious Monteverde Cloud Forest. You'll travel first by van, then by boat over Lake Arenal, then by van to your next destination, Hotel Heliconia.

Hotel Heliconia is a chalet-style hotel nestled into the mountains. It also has a 600-acre private reserve. Spacious with great views.

The Monteverde Cloud Forest preserve, the main attraction in the area, supports over six different life zones which includes over 100 species of mammals, over 400 species of birds (including the infamous Quetzal ) and butterflies, 120 species of amphibians and reptiles, 2500 species of plants as well as tens of thousands of insect species. This is a great place for families, couples or for any traveler looking to get off the beaten path and relax in a quiet, mountain atmosphere.

This reserve, under the administration of the Tropical Science Center, is known world wide for its biodiversity and is visited each year by many tourists and scientists. We would strongly recommend that all those who visit Monteverde take a hike at one of the two reserves. A guide is a plus as you will learn a lot but this is an awesome experience with our with our a naturalist guide. All the trails are in fair condition and well marked.

You will have 3 wonderful nights at the Bosque del Cabo, a private resort located on a cliff top over the Pacific Ocean & Golfo Dulce.

Spacious bungalows nestled into the jungle with magnificent views are what you will find. Private outdoor garden showers, king size bed and wonderful amenities will make your stay comfortable.
