Days 1–3: Flight and Arenal

Two days give you ample time to check out the region’s main attraction—Arenal Volcano—which looms 5,000 feet above placid Lake Arenal. On day 3, you can see sloths and howler monkeys on an optional boat tour through Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge (fees apply).

  • Sarchi: Artisans in this tiny pueblo hand paint wooden ox carts with colorful geometric patterns. You’ll stop here on day 2 before reaching Arenal.
  • Arenal Volcano was dormant for hundreds of years before a tremendous eruption in 1968.

Days 4–5: Monteverde

Monteverde enchants with cloud forests, rare orchids, and tropical birds. The itinerary is a bit looser during this leg of the trip, so you can take optional tours that delve deeper into the landscape, including one that weaves through the treetops on Selvatura’s hanging bridges (fees apply).

  • Snap pics of the volcano on day 4 as you hike the sandy Las Coladas trail in Arenal Volcano National Park. Afterward, adventurous hikers may trek over a field of petrified lava rocks.
  • Quetzal birds, known for being hard to spot, are among the more than 500 types of birds that inhabit Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve.
  • Local coffee farm: On day 5, get a behind-the-scenes look at how Costa Rican farmers harvest and process coffee beans, a leading export.

Days 6–7: San José and Return to United States

Costa Rica’s capital city is the tour’s final stop. You can check out some of the colonial city’s attractions, including carved stone figures and ancient artifacts at the Jade Museum.

  • Downtown San José bustles with bazaars where locals sell anything from spices to handmade crafts.
  • Pre-Columbian Gold Museum: Marvel at its priceless gold coins and artifacts during your leisure time.
