Itinerary / Highlights
Day 1 San Jose-Get a feel for the city on a sightseeing walk through the streets.
Days 2-3 La Fortuna/ Arenal Volcano-
Head out into the beautiful surrounds of Lake Arenal and explore the green countryside. Big winds sweeping in from the Caribbean make the lake a windsurfer's delight. Why not visit La Fortuna waterfall, take a canopy tour in the forest or visit the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge?
Days 4-5 Monteverde-
Ecologists have suggested that the cloud forests of Monteverde were actually two different ecosystems, straddling each side of the Continental Divide. As a result, the area boasts several unique species of flora and fauna. Explore the emerald green cloud forest by foot to admire the array of wildlife and get the backstory as to how this incredible ecological curiosity came to be.
Days 6-7 Manuel Antonio National Park-
Discover the white sand beaches, tropical vegetation and turquoise waters of Manuel Antonio National Park. Hike along the trails to spot some of the abundant wildlife - be on the lookout for armadillos, sloths and colourful birds. Impossible to resist, the warm waters offer great swimming, kayaking or surfing, and while Manuel Antonio itself is a laidback kind of town, its nightlife is famously fiery - so kick up those heels and get a taste for Costa Rican carousing.
Days 8-9 San Jose-
Return to the capital to meander through the stalls of the Mercado Central, take a look at the collection of shimmering art at the Museo de Oro Precolombino y Numismatica or catch a show at the city's pride and joy - the Teatro Nacional.
