Code: CRWT-4
Your expert bilingual naturalist guide will find the animals, point out
indigenous rain forest plants, and educate you on a few of the more than
300 treatments and cures derived from them. Frequent sightings include
three types of monkeys, wild boars, two types of toucans, White-Nosed
Coatis, Oro Pendulas, Golden Eyelash Vipers, Boa Constrictors, White-tailed
Deer, Great Curassows and Poison Dart Frogs. You will travel 25 minutes
to the far west side of the Arenal Volcano to begin the tour in Arenal
National Park. You will cross the river and spend about 2½ hours
exploring the park. Your reward at the end of this trail is the path created
by the 1992 lava flows. You have time to explore, and can even choose
a souvenir rock as your guide explains the history of this magnificent
volcano. One of the day’s highlights is the spectacular hilltop view
of the sunset over Lake Arenal.
Next stop is the National Park lava observation point. Enjoy a beverage
and listen to the extraordinary sounds of the volcano. And if the cloud
cover is high enough, you will witness a dazzling display of falling lava
rocks. You will hear the sounds of the rain forest, to the accompaniment
of frogs, toucans, insects and thousands of lightning bugs.Your tour can end here, or you can continue with a refreshing three hour thermal hot springs visit. Tabacon Resort is the #1 attraction in Costa Rica and considered by many the most beautiful hot springs in the world.
