This was a great trip! I would buy it again! It was the perfect mix of in the rainforest and on the beach, between structured activities and having the freedom to choose what we did.

Tour the rainforest canopy, ride horseback, and see Costa Rica's breathtaking Arenal Volcano

8-Day Costa Rican Vacation

Costa Rica is known for its diverse landscape, wherein pristine beaches give way to dense cloud forests and mighty volcanoes. This vacation sets you up with a rental car and 8 days to take in some of Costa Rica’s most popular sites, and includes a canopy and hot springs tour, dinner, and your choice of horseback riding or kayaking.

This vacation includes:

  • 1 night standard accommodations at Hotel Auténtico in San Jose
  • 2 nights’ standard accommodations at Arenal Country Inn in La Fortuna
  • 3 nights’ standard accommodations at Hotel Guanamar in Playa Carrillo
  • 1 night standard accommodations at Hotel Auténtico in San Jose
  • Daily breakfast
  • Manual car rental
  • Entrance and dinner at Baldi Springs
  • Kayak tour or horseback riding
  • Canopy tour<p>

La Fortuna: Home to Arenal Volcano

La Fortuna’s centerpiece is the 5,000-foot tall Arenal Volcano. Spend 2 nights at the Arenal Country Inn, which is set on 10 acres of tropical foliage and affords stunning views of the volcano.

  • Arenal Volcano National Park: You can hike across hanging bridges and over fields of solidified lava rock in this 30,000-acre park.
  • Baldi Hot Springs features natural hot-spring pools tucked amid lush gardens, rocky waterfalls, and views of the volcano.<p>

Guanacaste: Enchanting Pacific Beaches

Hotel Guanamar’s quiet bungalows serve as your headquarters for the next 3 nights. Check out Playa Carrillo and Playa Samara, two beautiful beaches nearby, or view one of the many species of turtles that calls Guanacaste home.

  • Playa Carrillo was ranked among Travel + Leisure’s best secret beaches. Surfers and divers come here to catch the waves and explore the coral reef just offshore.
  • Rincón de la Vieja National Park: Look out for howler monkeys, sloths, and bubbling mud pots caused by geothermal activity.<p>

San Jose: Costa Rica’s Colorful Capital

The final leg of the vacation explores San Jose, a bustling city rife with markets, museums, and cafes. While here, you’ll stay at Hotel Auténtico, close to downtown San Jose’s attractions.

  • The Jade Museum boasts thousands of ancient jade jewelry pieces and carved figures, along with terra cotta vases made with human teeth.
  • Teatro Nacional: Built in the late 19th century, this former auditorium dazzles with a marble lobby and a painting that depicts local banana farmers.<p>

The resort was amazing! Once we arrived, we didn't have to pay for anything (except tipping) because it was all included. Beautiful rooms, multiple pools & bars, & delicious restaurants!
