Monteverde Adventure Trip (14 days)
Itinerary
Green as far as the eye can see. And sometimes so dense that no ray of light penetrates the steaming cloud forests. Should you go there, however, you'll surely get dizzy from the colors and patterns that had yet to be consumed on the last day of the creation story. Fortunately, there are still the enchanted beaches of Golfo Dulce and Manuel Antonio National Park, and who will deny that the combination of lush green and Caribbean blue is the most beautiful?

The location on a hill in the middle of the rainforest offers you a fantastic view of the bay of Manuel Antonio. The resort is only a 15-minute walk from Playa Biesanz, a small beach that seems like an insider tip, which you can reach via a jungle path. There are also regular shuttle buses to the equally beautiful main beach of Manuel Antonio. The eco-hotel participates in various programs for environmentally friendly tourism and ensures that recycling, water and energy conservation and the preservation of Costa Rica's rich natural resources are supported.

Notes
Manuel Antonio National Park is very popular in high season, especially at weekends. The local authorities have limited the number of visitors to the park. A visit is nevertheless recommended, as the chances of seeing animals, especially the rare sloths, are particularly high here. Don't forget your swimsuit: A swim at one of the national park's gorgeous beaches will win you over. To enable you to visit the national park, your guide will be with you at the park entrance early in the morning. Be prepared for an early departure from the hotel.

The activity of the Arenal is subject to natural fluctuations. At the moment, the Arenal is unusually quiet. As a result, lava can only be seen very rarely.
If the excursion to the volcano is not possible due to bad weather conditions, it will be postponed to the next day.
