Premium Adventure from San Jose Arenal Volcano Waterfall and Thermal

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
