Itinerary
1
Discover several beauties of Costa Rica in a single day, on this Arenal Volcano Mega Combo Tour. You will be picked up in the morning from your San Jose Hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. Then drive along the less-traveled “scenic route” to Arenal, with great views of volcanoes, plantations, waterfalls, jungles, and local towns. En route to Arenal, stop in a coffee plantation where your guide will show you the coffee plants, and will give you a briefing about coffee in Costa Rica (coffee degustation will be provided in a rustic restaurant later on).

Duration:  20 minutes

Continue your tour with a stop at the famous La Paz Waterfall, one of the most famous natural attractions in Costa Rica. At this attraction, you will be able to admire the pristine Rainforest environment that surrounds the waterfall, and you will have the chance to take pictures of it for a few minutes.

Duration:  15 minutes

Shortly after another stop will be made at the San Fernando Waterfall look-out point, where you can take pictures of this natural wonder and admire the exotic bird’s gallery that includes several species of hummingbirds. Enjoy a cup of freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee while admiring the amazing waterfall, accompanied by traditional local snacks that Costa Rican people normally eat with their coffee.

Duration:  30 minutes

Following you will savor a hearty lunch of authentic Costa Rican Cuisine in a restaurant near the impressive Arenal Volcano.
