WITH THE GUIDANCE OF A PROFESSIONAL BILINGUAL GUIDE, YOU WILL TRAVERSE THE SUSPENDED PATHWAYS OF THE MISTICO HANGING BRIDGES PARK. THIS PARK, LOCATED ON A MOUNTAIN OPPOSITE THE VOLCANO AND ARENAL LAKE, OFFERS THE MOST BREATHTAKING PANORAMIC VIEWS. AS YOU START HIKING AND CROSS THE FIRST OF SIX BIG BRIDGES, YOU BECOME IMMERSED IN THE NORMALLY HARD-TO-OBSERVE WORLD OF THE TREE CANOPY. YOU’LL WITNESS THE DIVERSE FLORA AND FAUNA THAT CALL THIS ECOSYSTEM HOME, GAINING A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF ITS DELICATE BALANCE. USING HIS TRAINED EYES AND EARS, YOUR GUIDE WILL AIM HIS TELESCOPE FOR MAXIMUM OBSERVATION OF EACH SIGHTING.
NEXT ON OUR LIST IS A VISIT TO THE LAVA FIELDS AT THE FOOT OF THE ARENAL VOLCANO. HERE, WE FOLLOW A TRAIL THROUGH THE LAVA THAT TAKES US TO THE BEST VIEWPOINT. STANDING AMONG THE BIG BLACK ROCKS, YOU ENJOY A 360-DEGREE VIEW OF ALL OF LA FORTUNA’S STUNNING SURROUNDINGS: ARENAL LAKE, THE RAINFOREST, THE ENCIRCLING LAVA FIELDS, AND MOST IMPRESSIVELY, THE ARENAL VOLCANO STANDING BEFORE YOU IN ALL ITS ENORMITY. YOUR GUIDE WILL BE THERE TO PROVIDE DETAILS ABOUT THE VOLCANO’S INTRIGUING HISTORY.
AFTER THE HIKE, WE WILL SIT DOWN FOR A NICE LUNCH AT THE RAINFOREST CAFÉ. WITH PLENTY OF MENU OPTIONS, IT SHOULD BE EASY TO CHOOSE SOMETHING TO YOUR LIKING. A NATURAL, HEALTHY FRUIT DRINK WILL BE INCLUDED.
TO FINISH THE DAY, YOU CAN IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE HOT WATER OF THE RELAX TERMALITAS SPRINGS. LOCATED AT THE FOOT OF THE VOLCANO, THIS SMALL RESORT OFFERS MANY POOLS WITH DIFFERENT WATER TEMPERATURES. ENJOY A COMPLIMENTARY DRINK WHILE SHARING EXPERIENCES WITH FELLOW TRAVELERS.
AROUND 5 PM, WE WILL START THE DROP-OFF AND SAY GOODBYE, CONVINCED WE HAVE OFFERED YOU THE BEST AND MOST COMPLETE DAY POSSIBLE IN BEAUTIFUL LA FORTUNA.
