Start out by learning about the natural history of Costa Rican butterflies such as the Blue Morpho, Monarch, Owl Butterfly, Swallow-Tail and many more. Get a close look at a wide variety of tropical plants and traditional organic crops. You will see about 300 species of plants including medicinal plants, spices, orchids, and more. This is a special spot for bird watchers as more than 100 different birds have been seen in this area. Then we head back past town to the La Fortuna Waterfall. Look around as we head up the road, and take in the beautiful panoramic views of the San Carlos lowlands. A short hike down a steep trail (with steps and a handrail) leaves you only a few feet in front of this powerful waterfall. Time to relax. Sit on the huge rocks around the falls, admire the beauty of the surrounding flora, take a refreshing swim in several pools, or get a massage the natural way under several smaller waterfalls.
By now you are looking forward to a great lunch at “Acuarelas” Restaurant, a fantastic typical Costa Rican lunch will get your energy back for the next part of your tour.
The final stop of Tabacon Resort is just a few minutes away. We start with a guided walk along the trails of past lava flows. Hear eruptions and lava tumbling down the face of this mighty volcano. Occasionally we also see lava rocks on this side of the mountain. Now it is time to relax in what most will agree is the best thermal hot springs in the world. Enjoy thermal rivers with large waterfalls to sit under for a wonderful massage, or stand behind as a natural sauna. There are also 7 different temperature pools, a cold water pool, Jacuzzis, swim-up bar, a first class Spa, perfectly manicured grounds with many grass areas to relax, an unbelievable variety of flowers and trees, paths along the edge of the rainforest and more with the volcano right in front of you. It is not hard to see why this is the #1 attraction in Costa Rica. Top it all off with a buffet dinner at the resort.
