We will pick you up in La Fortuna, or from your hotel in the Arenal area
at 7:30 am. We will proceed to meet the rest of the group and continue
to the Dam. After a 20 minute-ride by mini bus, we reach the dam of Lake
Arenal to board a covered passenger boat, for a fun 15 minutes cruise
with great views of the active volcano and the lakeshores. We will cross
the lake to a certain place where local guides and horses are waiting
for you to start this exciting horseback ride for approximately 3½
hours, climbing 1,200 meters (3,600 feet) from the lake to the Continental
Divide, to the Monteverde Mirador. We will ascend to the Cloud Forest
through this spectacular old mountain trail that was used by local farmers
during past decades by doing 3 river crossings, and riding
trough part lush forest, part magnificent open views of the volcano, the
lake, and the surrounding mountain range. While you enjoy the surrounding
nature, from time to time our guide explain you some important information
about Costa Rica s’ fauna, flora and its people. Then we will proceed
to a place where a 4 X 4 car will be there waiting for to bring you directly
