Day by Day

Above the clouds

Monteverde

Day 1: Arrival in Monteverde
Land in San José and journey into the misty highlands with your private driver. Settle into Hotel Belmar, tucked into Monteverde’s cloud-kissed forest. As evening falls, sip something warm on your balcony and watch the fog curl through the trees.

Day 2: Zipline and nocturnal wanderings
Glide through the treetops on a zip line adventure across Monteverde’s legendary canopy. In the evening, venture into the forest with a guide. Flashlight beams reveal darting frogs, rustling branches, and golden eyes hidden in the night.

Day 3: Forest stillness and stargazing
Slow the pace. Wander quiet trails, soak in the outdoor hot tub, or rest in your suite above the trees. That night, ascend to a secluded platform for a private stargazing dinner, surrounded by constellations and the hush of the forest.
Volcanic peaks

Arenal

Day 4: From mist to magma
Leave the clouds behind and descend into Arenal’s lush lowlands. Travel by boat and road to reach your bungalow at Lomas del Volcán, where wooden cabins face the volcano and palm trees sway in the warm breeze.

Day 5: Rappel and restore
Take on cascading jungle cliffs with a waterfall rappelling adventure. That evening, slip into the thermal waters at Tabacón, followed by a slow, elegant dinner among the steam and stone.

Day 6: Paddle the Pacuare
Raft Costa Rica’s most iconic river, navigating both calm currents and crashing rapids through the heart of the rainforest. Wild, wet, and unforgettable.

Day 7: Wildlife among the treetops
Walk rainforest trails with a naturalist, spotting sloths, monkeys, and toucans in the canopy. The rest of the day is yours to unwind, poolside, on forest paths, or simply watching the green world move around you.
Volcanic heartland

Manuel Antonio

Day 8: Arrival on the coast
Drive southwest to Manuel Antonio, where the rainforest slopes down to the sea. At Gaia Hotel, your suite opens to sweeping views and infinity pools spill toward the horizon.

Day 9: Beneath the waves at Caño Island
Snorkel crystalline waters at Caño Island, drifting through coral gardens teeming with rays and tropical fish. Return for a private dinner on the terrace, with seafood, wine, and the Pacific shimmering below.

Day 10: ATV through rainforest trails
Explore Manuel Antonio by ATV, kicking up mud through jungle paths and coastal ridgelines. Panoramic views meet wild adventure—Costa Rica at full throttle.

Day 11: Farewell from above
Fly back to San José for your onward journey. Volcanoes, cloud forest, coast, and canopy behind you—yet somehow, still with you.
