Detailed Description

After touching down in San Jose, your luxurious, Costa Rican adventure will begin. Your private guide will whisk you through customs and escort you to your five-star accommodation that will be located in Costa Rica’s capital city. After a rejuvenating rest, your private driver will take you to your first excursion in Arenal. Here, you will delve into Costa Rican history on an exclusive tour of an organic coffee plantation. In addition to the tantalizing smells that emanate from this delightful plantation, you will learn all about the intricate process of crafting coffee from crop to cup. Fields that grow popular crops such as bananas, sugar cane, and oranges will span as far as the eye can see, and you will sample different types of coffee, noticing the different tones of honey, molasses, and citrus flavors that complement the distinct coffee flavor.

On your second day in Arenal, your naturalist guide will take you on a tour into the depths of the rainforest. You will feel the misty, humid air on your skin and smell the sweet peppermint aroma of the forest’s leafy canopy of ferns. Your experienced guide will point out two-toed sloths that are resting in the warmth of the day and brightly colored exotic birds that are perched on nearby branches. After a short walk, you will reach La Fortuna waterfall. The water cascades from 75 meters above, pouring into a glistening, swimming hole below. Dense, green foliage surrounds the waterfall from all sides, and you revel in this picturesque view.

During your final day in Arenal, you will learn to cook like a Costa Rican. As you learn local grilling, seasoning, and flavoring techniques, you will marvel at the spectacular views of La Fortuna waterfall that will be available just outside of your window. After savoring the delicious meal that you created, your guide will escort you to Arenal’s mineral-rich hot springs, where you will bask in their warm waters and soak in their healing properties while listening to the soothing sounds of nature. The next leg of your excursion will take you to Costa Rica’s tropical paradise of Tamarindo. Here, you will feel the warm breeze of the Pacific Ocean in your hair as you unwind on a pristine, white-sand beach. You will have the opportunity to explore the region by the sea on a regal boat excursion. As you float through the turquoise waters, you may catch a glimpse of dolphins as they spring out of the water. You will enjoy a freshly prepared lunch on the boat with the refreshing sea breeze at your back. As the day winds down, you will enjoy one last, breathtaking sunset as you reflect upon the many amazing memories that you have created on your unforgettable trip.
