Incredible Costa Rica!. Start this trip, enjoying the charming highlands of Costa Rica`s Central Valley (known for its volcanoes, culture, handicrafts, and coffee); in The Central Valley North Area (where the Irazu Volcano and its National Park is one of the most famous in the country and the main attraction in the area). After that, visit Arenal Volcano (youngest and one of the most active stratovolcano in Costa Rica, near Lake Arena); and then, have a wonderful stay in Rio Celeste (known for it's divine hue of turquoise), that runs through the lush Tenorio Volcano National Park. The body of water's moniker stems from its striking color, which is caused by the interactions of chemicals and minerals linked to the region's volcanic activity. Continue to Monteverde (one of Costa Rica`s biggest attractions and famous Cloud Forest Reserve, perfect for anyone looking for an educational nature experience, adventure in the jungle or birdwatching). Finally, have a pleasant stay at Guanacaste Beaches (in northwestern Costa Rica bordering the Pacific; known as a tropical paradise with a pristine shoreline, beautiful mountain ranges and a number of volcanoes). Combined transfers connect these destinations. This is a flexible vacation package. Select your number of nights in each city, desired hotel and activities.
