What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Arenal Volcano National Park 21007 Costa Rica
This is a unique opportunity where you can hike around an active volcano! Don't worry, it's not throwing lava anymore but it certainly left the lava trails where you will be walking around and be as close from this colossus and everything it represents such as the rainforest, home of animals, culture, amazing views and fascinating history!
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Stop At: Arenal Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano National Park 21007 Costa Rica
At the hanging bridges you will be hiking while combining the fascinating hanging bridges with ground hikes among the rainforest.
A series of hanging bridges are connected at this nice park so you can walk on them and be able to observe what the real rainforest looks like from the heights... Even though you will be hanging up in the treetops you will be able to see much wildlife action and birds and learn of a different way of life from the heights.
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Pass By: Lake Arenal, Arenal Volcano National Park, La Fortuna de San Carlos Costa Rica
You will pass through the dam that shows the open way of the gorgeous and giant Arenal Lake!
Stop At: La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano National Park, La Fortuna de San Carlos 106-4417 Costa Rica
To get to the magnificent waters of the waterfall a 20 minute hike down 500 stairs will be required, don't panic! Is not as bad as it sounds... you will be with your guide overlooking at the beauty of the canyon that opens in front of you and you will go slow, at your own pace, trust me, it is worth it!
Once you reach the ground, take some time to feel yourself immerse in nature and all it represents to you, is the perfect way to relax, just let go and think of anything else but the moments you are having.
Jump in to the water, explore, swim and have a great time before getting back up on the same trail... but again, slowly!
At the waterfall you have 2 options:
1. Do the hike as described
2. Stay up at the main facilities, there is a restaurant to have a drink, bathrooms and changing rooms and a nice observatory so you can look down to the waterfall and wait for the group to get back up and take you to taste a fine lunch!
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Rain Forest Explorers, Arenal Volcano National Park, La Fortuna de San Carlos 21007 Costa Rica
After a nice hike and swim at the waterfall La Familia Rodriguez will be waiting for you with the perfect lunch to recover the energy!
They will serve a really tasteful traditional lunch, cooked with local farm and organic ingredients and giving it the love touch for what will be the best meal you will have while in Costa Rica!
Share sometime at the family ranch and share lunch with them, is a good way to make new friends and learn about our culture.
After a homemade cup of coffee and relaxing by the sounds of the water running from the river is time to continue our day adventure and heads towards the volcano.

We really enjoyed our Tour with our guide Carlos and our group. First, we went to the hanging bridges where we could admire a lot of the flora and fauna of Costa Rica, thanks to "Eagle eye Carlos" 😉 We saw white-faced monkeys, frogs, vipers, bats, snakes, sloths and tucans - we were very lucky! And Carlos took a lot of pictures for us through his long glass, so we got some really nice shots! Then our driver surprised us with some delicious pineapple to refill our energy. The next part was the waterfall. There, you had the possibility to take a refreshing swim after the hike in the clear water. Then it was time for dinner, jippie! We were served a traditional costa rican Casado (rice, beans, plantains, salad, tortilla and meat/fish/vegetables) and rice pudding for dessert. Because it was cooked in the fire, it was very authentic and delicious! The final part was the lava hike in front of the volcano. It was rather short but still worth it. You could see the volcano at its whole beauty and we got a lot of information about it and the vegetation around it. To sum up, it was a very amazing experience and we would recommend that to everyone who is going to La Fortuna!Amauri G
