Sample Itin 28th - 2nd 2012

28th ---- Travel from Tamarindo to Arenal Volcano (Nayara Resort)

Nayara Resort

Today you can travel from Tamarindo to the famous Arenal Voclano. This is must see while in Costa Rica and depending on availability there are a number of great hotels in the area but the Nayara Resort is one of our favorites. You have great views of the volcano and surrounded by lush tropical forest. (Meals: None)

29th ---- Visit Danaus Reserve & Don Juan Organic Farm (Nayara Resort)

You won't find me in Jersey

We really enjoy the Danaus Reserve because it is a small reserve, very easy hiking, and a chance to see so much in just a short hike from poisonous dart frogs, sloths, agoutis, caiman, many different birds and butterflies. After the hike in the reserve we will take you to the man who we consider the Eli Manning of Costa Rica. His name is Don Juan and he has a small organic farm that has the best food in the country and he loves giving a little walk around the farm before the meal. (Meals: Breakfast & Lunch)

1st ---- Visit Cano Negro Wildlife Reserve (Nayara Resort)

Arenal Volcano

If you are in to wildlife this is another chance to see a number of different species from Costa Rica while being on an easy boat float. There will be monkeys all over and we like to go in the afternoon on a private boat to avoid the crowds and makes for a very pleasant evening. We could squeeze in an amazing zipline today also if you would like. (Meals: Breakfast & Lunch)

2nd ---- Travel to Villa Blanca Hotel & Night Hike in Cloud-forest (Villa Blanca)

Today you will travel to another one of our favorite places and this place is just 1 1/2 hour from the San Jose airport but located in a beautiful cloud-forest where you will get the chance to see the famous Quetzal bird because now is the season for it. The hotel is absolutely beautiful with amazing views. In the evening you will get to see everything that does not come out during the day as your naturalist guide takes you on a night hike. (Meals: Breakfast)

Famous Quetzal

3rd ----- Travel to San Jose for flight Home!

Today you will leave the Villa Blanca hotel around 10am and make the drive to the San Jose airport. (Meals: Breakfast)
