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.
