About this Trip

After two nights we will transfer to adventure central at Arenal Volcano, where we will swim, soak, hike, zip-line and rappel in the middle of the lush rainforest.

Hotels
2 nights: Evergreen Lodge Tortuguero
At Evergreen Lodge you’ll be immersed in the sensational tropical jungle of Tortuguero, while relaxing in comfort and tranquility.
With a strategic location, you can explore this unique natural reserve that is filled with magic and wonders; tall trees and leafy greens surround the bungalows living in harmony with the wildlife. With the Penitencia Canal flowing in front of our Lodge, we can explore canals of the Natural Park- considered one of the most exotic places in the country.
3 nights: Arenal Observatory Lodge
Arenal Observatory Lodge is safely located 1.7 miles from the south side of the volcano, but it seems so close that you could reach out and touch it. The perfectly shaped volcanic cone commands nearly every view at the hotel.
7 miles of well-maintained trails wind through the hotel’s 870-acre property, through the primary and secondary rainforest, past waterfalls and pastures. Plenty of wildlife lives in the area, including three kinds of monkeys, anteaters, coatis, deer, and more than 500 species of birds.
