Safari Float - Peñas Blancas River
The Peñas Blancas River is fed by the pristine waters of several private rainforest reserves within the Arenal Volcano area. It is surrounded by lush rainforest, natural volcanic hot springs, waterfalls, and forested canyons that measure upwards of 700 feet (213 m) in height, until downstream it becomes a flat-water river perfect for enjoying the natural environment. This section of the river provides a scenic adventure perfect for wildlife viewing in La Fortuna. It's the easiest and most unique way to take in the area's spectacular scenery, learn about its natural history from your guide, and simply enjoy a serene day immersed in nature.
La Fortuna Waterfall Reserve
Next, we head to the La Fortuna Waterfall Reserve, where a majestic 210-foot waterfall awaits. Hike about 600 steps downhill to reach the base of the falls and feel the invigorating spray. Take a refreshing dip in the natural pool formed by the La Fortuna River – a perfect reward for your trek. Your visit directly benefits the local community, as 100% of the entrance fee goes towards social projects like schools, nutritional centers, and infrastructure.
Delicious Farm-to-Table Lunch
Indulge in a delightful lunch at Vida Campesina Farm. Savor authentic Costa Rican cuisine prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, most grown right on the farm! Top it all off with a special treat – a cup of local produce and freshly brewed coffee, prepared in the traditional Costa Rican style.
Arenal Volcano Trail Hike
Step back in time and explore the Arenal Volcano's transformative power. Hike the coladas trail, form rock-on-rock shaped after the most significant eruption in recent times. Witness the stark contrast between the solidified lava flows – remnants of the volcano's fiery past – and the areas now undergoing regeneration. Our expert guide will share fascinating details about the volcano's history and ongoing activity. These 10 000 feeds (3 km) hike offers unparalleled vistas of the majestic Arenal Volcano, and also the Arenal Lake.
Hot Springs and Dinner Bliss
After a thrilling day of exploration, unwind in the therapeutic waters of the natural hot springs. The soothing geothermal pools, with many different temperatures to choose from, will melt away any lingering tension.
