Day 1: Take a private shuttle from the airport to the Arenal Kioro Hotel at the foot of the active Arenal volcano in La Fortuna.
Day 2-3: During your 3-night stay at Kioro, be sure to book a day in the Neidin Spa where you'll be treated like royalty. Be seduced by their volcanic mud treatments and thermal water soaks.

Later fly through the forest on a thrilling canopy tour; here you will see the tropical beauty from an unexpected angle.

There is no better way to unwind after a day of exploration than with a spa treatment or a massage right on the beach!
Day 8: Take a short flight from Punta Islita to the San José airport where you will await your flight home, leaving Costa Rica feeling relaxed and refreshed.
