This tour allows you to sample the attractions that have made the Arenal region famous in a single day. To begin the tour you have the option of visiting either the Danaus Eco-Center or the Arenal Hanging Bridges. At the eco-center you’ll observe and learn about the natural history of the butterflies of Costa Rica such as the Blue Morpho and the Monarch, as well as a variety of tropical flora and traditional crops being farmed organically. Information on the Hanging Bridges is provided under a separate header in this booklet.

Your next stop will be the La Fortuna Waterfall where you will hike approximately 15 min to reach the fall, where you may take a swim in the cool waters or just enjoy the beauty offered.

Afterwards follows lunch at the Lava Rocks Restaurant where you will be served a deliciously prepared typical meal. After lunch you will have an hour or so to explore the town of La Fortuna in search of great bargains on locally made handicrafts or just relax before embarking on the Arenal Volcano lava hike. The trails offer fantastic views of the volcano along with the opportunity to walk on old lava flows and learn more about this awesome force of nature.

You’ll end the day with a relaxing and well-deserved dip in the Tabacon Hot Springs followed by a buffet dinner.
