Special Notes

This tour is recommended for people who wish to explore different parts of the country, the drive is long but very scenic with lots of things to see.

It is very important to understand that the Arenal Volcano Lava Hike included on this tour is done at the base of the volcano since there are no trails or roads to go up to the summit of it (the slopes of this volcano are restricted areas).
