? Full Description

Your journey begins in La Fortuna, where you’ll meet your guide and start hiking into the dense, green wilderness of the Arenal area. The first day takes you through river crossings, steep jungle trails, and elevated paths offering spectacular volcano and lake views. After a full day of trekking, you’ll arrive at a secluded mountain cabin. Here, your hosts prepare dinner the traditional way — cooked over a wood-fire stove — creating a warm, rustic atmosphere lit by candlelight.

You’ll sleep in a simple mountainside hut, fully immersed in the sounds of nature. The next morning starts with a hearty homemade breakfast before you continue your hike. Day two covers different terrain, transitioning from jungle paths to open rural landscapes with panoramic countryside views. The adventure concludes as you arrive in Monteverde, where you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation in this iconic cloud-forest region.
