Minicombo 2

The trip begins with a 20 minute drive to the Arenal Volcano, then a walk along the trail of approximately 3 kilometers, which includes secondary forest vegetation. One of the best ways to observe the Arenal Volcano is from this trail, while having the opportunity to encounter a variety of plants and wildlife, as well as the volcanic rock formation and Arenal Lake. Actually, it is a very historic hike to learn about the Arenal Colossus which directly influences the local economy and culture. Then we will take about 20 minutes to the Fortuna River Waterfall, where we will descend and the client will be able to cool off in the crystal clear water of the waterfall. Finally, after this tour, it is time for lunch, where you will be offered the traditional Casado, which contains rice, beans, salad, mashed potatoes, fried plantain and the customer can choose between fish, chicken, pork, beef or vegetarian, plus the fruit juice of your choice.

Great experience!
We hiked up through what seemed to be jungle and mountain and saw amazing views of Arenal Volcano. Must wear hiking shoes as some of the rocks are slippery. For the waterfall, you will walk down about 250 steps, swim in the waterfall (which is cold) and walk back up. The waterfall is beautiful.

Thoroughly enjoyable activities with a very knowledgeable guide
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Jose was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, giving us good information on the plants and wildlife that we saw on our hike. He also has good humour and is an excellent photographer.

The waterfall was great fun! I was determined to swim, which I did, so I felt really exhilarated afterwards. Not everyone in the group went swimming, it was personal choice. There are 500 steps down to the waterfall and then, of course, 500 steps back up! However they are in short sections and there are places to stop, sit and rest on the way.
Lunch was a delicious, traditional meal. Very big portions, which was too much for me to eat.

I definitely recommend this trip.
