Overview

This is not just any excursion: it is a premium adventure, designed for those who value comfort and authentic experiences. More than a tour, it is an intimate trip through the natural wonders of Costa Rica.  Super-small groups and premium transport guarantee you comfort, flexibility and personalized attention throughout the tour. We observe lava pourings, stop at hidden viewpoints and explore the legacy of the imposing Arenal Volcano. We stop at local places: postcard waterfalls and hidden viewpoints, where you will try typical fruits and dishes (meals not included so you have freedom of choice). We enjoy everything from a hidden river of hot water to the thermal pools of a resort with excellent amenities. ️ Our guide not only knows the route, he lives it. Natural, attentive and close narrator, because in a world full of generic tours, this trip feels like with a local friend who wants to show you the best of his land.

Itinerary

1. La Paz Waterfall
As we enter the heart of the rainforest, we make a brief stop at the exact spot where nature steals the limelight: the majestic La Paz Falls. This drop in water bursts through the vegetation, creating one of the most photogenic scenes along the way. Our local guide will show you the perfect angle to capture your first memorable photos of the trip — that kind of image that doesn’t need filters to tell your story. And while you enjoy the sound of falling water, you will also have the opportunity to sample fresh fruits from the region, proudly offered by local farmers. A simple, tasty, authentic moment... of those that become indelible memories.
Duration: 20 mins
2. San Fernando Waterfall
Later, we will pause on a terrace nestled in the mountain, a cozy place where coffee smokes in ceramic cups and the singing of hummingbirds competes with the rumor of San Fernando Falls. Imagine a terrace hidden in the mountain, the sound of water falling in the distance, hummingbirds fluttering around you... Here we stop to take in the San Fernando Falls, taste (optionally) a typical dish and be engulfed by the calm of this magical corner But this is not just any place: 15 years ago, an earthquake shook its foundations and forever marked those who inhabit it. Since then, it has become a symbol of resilience and beauty, a must-see stop to reconnect with the essentials. From here, between typical dishes, sips of local flavor and breathtaking views, you can experience what locals call: the silence that speaks.
Duration: 40 mins
3. Arenal Volcano
Upon arriving at La Fortuna, we head towards the best viewpoint of one of Costa Rica’s most imposing natural icons: the Arenal Volcano. With its perfect conical silhouette and 1,670 meters high, this colossus not only dominates the landscape, but also the history of the region since its great eruption of 1968. We will walk roads surrounded by live forest, where nature has claimed its space between ancient lava smelts. Sometimes white monkeys, sloths, coati and tropical birds surprise us, while our local guide — expert storyteller — shares stories that connect science, legend and daily life. The highlight: a strategic viewpoint from which you can gaze at the volcano in all its glory, capture unforgettable postcards and live that moment where everything stops before the calm force of nature.
Duration: 120 mins
4. La Fortuna de San Carlos
After visiting the volcano, we will head to a secret corner that does not appear in the tourist guides, but that keeps a story as warm as its waters: a thermal river hidden in the forest, reached only by those who know the secrets of La Fortuna. Few know that this river changed forever in 1968, after the Arenal Volcano erupted. Neighbors in the area say that, amid the chaos and desperation to help those affected, many crossed this river on foot... only to discover that the water was boiling, literally. Since that day, the river has never been the same. Today, the river has become a natural sanctuary: pools of thermal water between trees, gentle steam rising to the sky, and the murmur of the forest. There are no lockers here, no rows, no tiles. Just nature, living history and the magic of sharing this place with a local who grew up listening to the legend — and now tells you in person, as you immerse your feet where it all began.
Duration: 60 mins
5. Los Lagos Hot Springs
Thermals, comfort and good vibes to close the day As a final part of this unforgettable trip and premium service, we’ll stop at a beautiful resort that combines the best of both worlds: the tranquil atmosphere breathed between its gardens and hot spring pools, and the more festive vibes around its thermal wet bar, perfect for those who prefer to close the day with laughter, Latin music and a cocktail in hand. With multiple spaces, this place offers everything from quiet corners for those seeking connection with nature, to livelier areas for those who enjoy socializing and celebrating the lived experience. In addition, you will find comfortable facilities to change, shower, rest and various options to enjoy delicious food or refreshing drinks (not included). A perfect closure to a day that had it all: adventure, nature, history... and now this well-deserved moment to simply enjoy prior to our return to San Jose.
Duration: 120 mins
