Day By Day

Welcome to Arenal Volcano!
Day 1: Arenal is often synonymous with adventure, but the area is more than thrilling tours. Prepare for an intimate look at Costa Rica's rainforest in a private atmosphere with volcano views and world-class service at Amor Arenal, a stand-out property surrounded by gardens and forests.
Sloth Spotting
Day 2: While you walk around La Fortuna, there are a lot of opportunities to spot a sloth. These creatures are full of charisma and possess an invaluable place in the natural world and culture of Costa Rica. Whether you find one on a sloth-spotting tour or out your window, keep your camera ready!
Hanging Bridges Expedition
Day 3: Get deeply acquainted with nature with a hanging bridges tour. The hike up and down the hills lets you experience every aspect of the rainforest, from its roots to its canopy, and everything in between. It's a breath-taking experience that outdoor lovers will particularly enjoy.
Getting to the Osa Peninsula
Day 4: Travel to one of the most 'bio-intense' places in the world, the Osa Peninsula! Some of these rainforests and beaches are still pristine, showcasing the wildest side of Costa Rica. Stay in the Drake Bay area at Copa de Arbol, only reachable by boat. This is an area a select few get to see.
The Real Jungle
Day 5: Your hotel is designed to keep you as busy and relaxed as you want to be. Splash in the pool, hang out at the beach, or go out paddleboarding and kayaking in the sea. The intimate ambiance allows you to connect with your travel companion and with the greater world around you. Sounds like paradise!
Corcovado National Park
Day 6: A visit to Corcovado is almost an entire vacation in itself. A boat ride takes you to the extremely secluded entrance of the national park, where an expert guides you through the authentic, untamed forest as you search for local wildlife. The most precious sighting is the tapir, you might get lucky.
Enjoy Birdwatching
Day 7: After a good night's rest, get up at dawn for one last nature experience. All kinds of small and large birds gather in these shores, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to see them in a quiet, contemplative hike where the forest takes the centerstage before resting for the rest of the day.
