From there we get to go where few people have the privilege to visit – the Lost Canyon Waterfall. We head by 4x4 up a bumpy country road. Your naturalist guide will hike with you to the base of some beautiful waterfalls – you can even go for a swim in the deep cool pools. It’s about a 20-minute hike back up and we take our time and learn about more of the flora and fauna in this beautiful jungle canyon.

It’s lunch time! Enjoy an All You Can Eat natural homemade lunch (vegetarians love this meal, too!) right in the canyon with great views of the volcano and rainforest. It’s time to enjoy the quintessential reason you came to La Fortuna – a visit to the Arenal Volcano! You’ll have a front-row seat to one of the most active volcanoes in the world as you take a guided hike through secondary and primary rainforest. You’ll get close enough to even feel the rumble of the mountain.

And to finish off your day, we head to the luxurious hot springs of The Springs Resort & Spa. Spend your time lounging around in the beautiful tropical gardens and swim-up bar with an amazing view of the volcano. Enjoy a plentiful buffet. We take you back to your hotel when you’re ready to go.
