-HOT DEALS-
Costa Rica on a Budget !
Day 01: Arrival to San José’s Juan Santamaria International
Airport. After clearing customs and immigrations our bilingual representative
will be waiting in order to take you to your hotel in San Jose. Overnight
at Hotel Vesuvio, located in the
colonial town of Barrio Amon, in downtown San Jose
Day
02: This morning, and at a most convenient time for you, the rental’s
car shuttle transportation service will pick you up at the hotel and take
you their office in Alajuela to pick up the rental compact size all terrain
vehicle. The rental’s car convenient location allows for you to make
a safe and quick departure to Arenal. After filling out the necessary paperwork
and once you’ve been given directions and maps, begin your drive to
Arenal. This picturesque drive will take you along side country farmland and
different crop plantations. Arrive and check in at Hotel
San Bosco, in La Fortuna. This evening, we recommend a visit to the Hot
Springs, from where on a clear night you will observe the impressive eruptions,
followed by fireworks of lava flowing down the Volcano.
Day
03: We recommend a late morning departure to Monteverde. Located among
the clouds, Monteverde (the Green Mountain), is nestled amongst the clouds
and truly a Mecca of biological study and conservation. First settled by Quaker
families coming from North America searching for peace and tranquility, nowadays
this small town offers a great array of activities for the adventurer of all
ages. One can take great hikes through the different private Reserves to witness
the majesty of the Cloud Forest, or go on a horseback ride tour, a thrilling
canopy / zip line tour, go the impressive waterfall, go on a rafting or rapelling
trip or simply relax enjoying the breathtaking views. Overnight at the family-owned
Posada Claro de Luna.
Day 04: The day is yours to discover the richness of this area. For
the adventurers, we recommend the canyoning / rappelling trip, a fun-adrenaline
filled tour. Nature lovers will delight with a guided walk through the Reserve
or with the Safari trip down the Peñas Blancas River. Overnight at
Posada Claro de Luna
Day
05: After some days visiting the forests, it’s time to head off
to the beach and relax. We’ve selected a stay at Manuel Antonio area,
where visitors can enjoy a lot of adventures, yet still be surrounded by the
overwhelming jungle. Manuel Antonio’s hotels are located on the main
road to the National Park and usually on the hillside, so they are not beach
front. Inside the National Park there are three white-sand beaches to chill
out during the day. One can also take horse back riding trips, boat tours,
kayaking, fishing, and other great day adventures. Overnight at Hotel
Mimo’s in a double room
Day 06: Day at leisure in Manuel Antonio
Day
07: It’s time to head back to the city and the hotel in San Jose.
Day 08: We recommend that approximately 4hours prior to your plane
departure time you leave the hotel in your rental car, to return it at the
rental’s Airport office, from where they will take you on the shuttle
to the Airport.
