Day 2-3 La Fortuna / Arenal
La Fortuna, at the foot of Arenal Volcano, is an excellent base for exploration. A night hike around the volcano is an unforgettable adventure. Try a full day of whitewater rafting, go horseback riding, tour the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, or relax and soak in the nearby hot springs.
Day 4-5 Monteverde, Costa Rica
Travelling into the cool cloud forest and rainforests of Monteverde gives us a glimpse of the lush ecosystems of Costa Rica. Take time to bird watch, go horseback riding or soak up the mountain air on a zipline over the cloudforest canopy.

Two towering volcanoes dominate the landscape on Ometepe, an island on Lake Nicaragua, which is also home to the unique freshwater shark. Take an optional hike up Maderas Volcano or just enjoy the beach and jungle swimming hole.

Granada's colonial charm is complemented by the surrounding active and dormant volcanoes and lakes. Take easy day trips and hikes, a cruise on the lake or explore the city's markets and museums.

A scuba diving haven, Utila is a Caribbean-style island with a lively community atmosphere. Blue waters invite swimming, diving, snorkelling, or simply relaxing on its white sand beaches.
