Itinerary
Day 1 San Jose
Arrive at any time, and choose to kick back at the hostel, or head out to explore the city before meeting up with your group in the evening. Later, head out in the San Pedro neighbourhood with your CEO and new mates in search of food and drink at one of the nearby happening spots.
Day 2 San Jose to La Fortuna
First stop today is the active Poás Volcano for epic views and photo opportunities by the crater. Next, head to a community coffee project to sample a cup and to learn about coffee production before a delicious typical lunch of freshly-caught tilapia from the local fish farm with plantains and the ever-present rice and beans. Roll into La Fortuna in the afternoon with time to settle into the hostel and grab a drink at the bar, and in the evening maybe treat yourself to a long soak in one of the many local hot springs.
Day 3 La Fortuna
Ready for Adventure? There’s so much to do in La Fortuna that you’ve got entire free day to choose from activities like rappelling down a waterfall, whitewater rafting, or paddle boarding on Lake Arenal. Otherwise, hanging out in the hostel with friends and a cold beverage is never a bad option either.
Day 4 La Fortuna to Monteverde
Make your way from La Fortuna by bus then boat across Lake Arenal then by bus again to the cloud forest of Monteverde. Scenery galore, keep the camera handy! Once you get to Monteverde don't get too comfortable yet as you'll head into the forest to fly across the canopy on zip lines for an adrenaline rush.
Day 5 Monteverde
Today is all about you, to do as much (or as little) as you want. Maybe check out the hanging bridges in the canopy to look for birds and wildlife, go horseback riding, visit a butterfly garden or just kick back at the cosy hostel and relax with a local craft beer in hand.
Day 6 Monteverde
Depart at any time.
Departs: Selected departures year round.
