En route to the Arenal Volcano, we will stop at the famous town of Sarchi, known as the birthplace of Costa Rica’s Artisans. In Sarchi, you will be able to appreciate many of the art crafts and souvenirs that Costa Rica has to offer. Also you will see the world’s largest ox cart according to the Guinness Book. The cart is 2 stories high, nearly 45 feet long (14 meters) and weighs 4400 lbs. (2 tons), and took 70 days to complete. Made out of wood (cedar) and decorated with bright colors, designed based on our typical and traditional oxcarts.
The journey will then continue, traversing diverse plantations with agricultural products, including pineapple and plantain farms, mango groves, ornamental plants and even cattle ranches until arriving to the small town of La Fortuna, and stopping to enjoy lunch at a cozy restaurant with a magnificent view of the volcano.
The impressive Arenal Volcano is a magnificent natural wonder situated in La Fortuna, San Carlos, previously assumed to be dormant, until in 1968, when there was a major eruption. Now it is visited by tourists from all around the world hoping for the opportunity to witness volcanic activity, such as the white plumes of smoke that emanate from the conical shaped behemoth.
You will then move on to relax at one of the best hot springs in the area, where you will revel in the cleansing and rejuvenating effects of the thermal waters, as well as an optional massage or other special treatments, if you choose to, these must be reserved ahead of time to ensure availability. Spa treatments are not included and are payable directly at the resort.
Enjoy the landscaped and freeform natural hot mineral springs and pools, which provide a great view of the volcano and a multitude of options, from hot springs with temperatures ranging from 83F to 103F and environments that vary from ranging waterfalls to tranquil forest experiences.
And for a perfect ending, before returning to San José, a wonderful dinner will be served with a great view of the volcano so that you do not miss any opportunity to look at the classically shaped volcano.
