Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Arenal Volcano National Park 21007 Costa Rica
The Arenal Volcano National Park is an iconic place to visit!
You will experience what is like to hike around the base of the volcano and encounter all the different landscapes while ascending.
The guide will tell you all about the nature and rainforest that formed after the eruptions, the richness of the soil and all the life and home it carries for many species of flora and fauna.
You will not ascend all the way to the top, it is not allowed, besides it's really strenuous and dangerous but you will get as close from the formed lava trails as possible and hear all the history of the eruptions, you will learn how the volcano works and how is important to our lives, of course always being in company of nature and with the most incredible views; the guide will point out to some interesting animals that you will see along the path that live in the volcano area.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano National Park, La Fortuna de San Carlos 106-4417 Costa Rica
You will visit La Fortuna Waterfall and will be able to swim in its fresh waters coming from the mountains and get that fresh air that you need so much, right in the middle of a canyon in the rainforest!
.
It starts with a 20 minute walk down 500 stairs where you will be immersed in nature, take your time, it is a paceful walk. Once there get on your swimming suit and swim in the natural pool, stand by the rocks and see the beautiful nature!
Upstairs there are the main facilities with bathrooms and changing rooms and an observatory to take pictures from above or in case you don't want to go all the way down you can stay there and wait for the group to get back (this also apply to a person that has a mobility, back or knee problem).
Look up and see how tall the fall is and the magic that feels like when you are one with nature!

I don't even know where to start on how amazing this tour was. It was off season so as with most of the tours, the group was very small. By the last hike it was just me and the guide, Carlos. And oh man Carlos is THE BEST! He has an AMAZING eye and ear for wildlife. Since it was just the 2 of us, he took me on a few extra trails where we saw a family of monkeys, frogs, birds, and insects. I swear Carlos spotted a camouflaged lizard on a tree 50 yards away. This whole tour was a really nice balance of activity and sightseeing. Just beware that the hike to the falls is all stairs and can be a little rough going up, but the trail has been recently rebuilt and is very nice with lots of rest areas along the way. 100 this was THE highlight of my trip.
This tour was amazing!
Our guide was WONDERFUL! He was so diligent in answer all of our questions, providing history and origins of not only incredible scenery, but had a keen eye for all wildlife! It was absolutely our favorite tour while in Costa Rica. Would highly recommend!
This tour far exceeded our expectations! William was top notch and a great tour guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. The Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna Waterfalls are both must see's when staying in the areas, so I highly recommend this tour! I believe if you are staying in any La Fortuna area hotels, they will come and pick you up directly from your hotel. They travel in very nice tourist vans, with air conditioning, which is great. In addition to the 2 in 1 tours, the tour guides will often stop in transit to point out wildlife i.e. sloths, toucans, monkeys etc... as you travel between locations. Great people!
