On this tree top walk, you cross a series of suspension bridges, walking above the tree canopy and looking down on the enormous ferns and majestic trees that comprise the dense vegetation of this primary rainforest.

• Overnight: Arenal Nayara Hotel & Gardens (Deluxe Suite)
• Meal: Breakfast

Please notice that we do NOT recommend visiting Arenal National Park for safety reasons, since The National Vulcanology Department issued a red-danger warning around the Arenal Volcano, and the National Park visitors center is located within the 5Km ring, in the “red danger” zone. For a nice & relaxing visit to the famous Arenal hot springs, we highly recommend visiting Eco Termales La Fortuna. We have carefully chosen the hotels and activities we offer and share with our friends, family and clients in this area. If there should be any eruptions (as it has been in the past), and you are in any of the “red danger” zones, you would have less than 3 minutes to evacuate. Please steer clear of the park; your safety is our main priority and you can see the volcano without needing to stand on top of it!

Day 6- La Fortuna / Playa Tamarindo
Following a relaxing breakfast, you will be transferred to Rincon Corobici Restaurant. Depending on your experience and the amount of adrenaline you are looking for choose from a slower River Floating, class I-II, or a more challenging full day River Rafting at Tenorio River, class III-IV. Lunch will be included at Rincon Corobici Restaurant before driving towards your final destination: Tamarindo

Days 7-8 - Playa Tamarindo
