Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 6 Day Costa Rica: Volcanoes, Cloud Forests & Zip-Lines. Hey, bucket list: prepare to get shorter, because this six-day trip through Costa Rica’s interior is jam packed with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Staying in amazing hostels as you go, you’ll kick things off by catching views of the Poás Volcano’s massive crater en route to the outdoor adventure capital of La Fortuna. Hop on a boat and cruise across Lake Arenal on the way to Monteverde for some zip-lining above the cloud forest and whatever other optional activities get your adventure senses tingling.

Itinerary

Arrive at any time, and choose to kick back at the hostel, or head out to explore the city before meeting up with fellow Roamies in the evening. Later, head out in the San Pedro neighborhood with your CEO and new mates in search of food and drink at one of the nearby happening spots. Buckle up, it's on! Stay: Costa Rica Backpackers

Set off today bound for La Fortuna with plenty to do along the way. First stop, the active Poás Volcano for epic views and photo opportunities by the crater. Next, head to a community coffee project to sample a cup and to learn about coffee production. Hungry? Sit down for a delicious typical lunch of freshly-caught tilapia from the local fish farm with plantains and the ever-present rice and beans. Then get hands-on with a tortilla-making lesson, full points for the best one! Roll into La Fortuna in the afternoon with time to settle into the hostel and grab a drink at the bar, and in the evening maybe treat yourself to a long soak in one of the many local hot springs. Hey, you deserve it right? (B/L)

Ready for Adventure? There’s so much to do in La Fortuna that we've given you an entire free day to choose for yourself, you'll thank us for it later. Maybe it's something active that's your jam like rappelling down a waterfall, whitewater rafting, or paddleboard on Lake Arenal. Otherwise, hanging out in the hostel with friends and a cold beverage is never a bad option either. A combination of these things you say? Sounds perfect! (B)

If variety of transport is something you're looking for then you're going to love today. We'll make our way from La Fortuna by bus then boat across Lake Arenal then by bus again to the cloud forest of Monteverde. Scenery galore, keep the camera handy! Once we get to Monteverde don't get too comfortable yet as we'll head into the forest to fly across the canopy on zip lines for an adrenaline rush. Phew! Stay: Hotel Quetzal Inn Monteverde (B)

Today is all about you, to do as much (or as little) as you want, it's all good! Maybe check out the hanging bridges in the canopy to look for birds and wildlife, go horseback riding, visit a butterfly garden or just kick back at the cozy hostel and relax with a local craft beer in hand. Stay: Hotel Quetzal Inn Monteverde (B)

Depart at any time, or keep the adventure going to the beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula on the next leg of this journey. (B)
