What to Expect

Your first stop is in Sarchí, a town known for traditional handicrafts. Browse the artisan workshops and perhaps pick up souvenirs.
On arrival in La Fortuna, head to a restaurant for lunch and tuck into delicious Costa Rican cuisine.
After lunch, continue into Arenal Volcano National Park and take an easy hike around the volcano’s base. Follow the Mirador Arenal trail, trekking through lava fields.
Spend the rest of the afternoon at Tabacón hot springs, relaxing in naturally heated thermal pools and lagoons that range in temperature from 77 to 102°F (25 to 38°C).
After free time at the resort, enjoy a buffet dinner as the sun sets over the park.
