Gregory & Marisol Sample Itin

Feb 5th ----------- Arrive (Grano de Oro Hotel)

Today you will arrive and we will take you to the Grano de Oro Hotel. This happens to be one of the best hotels in all of the Central Valley. It is a great place to rest after a day of travel. It is located 15 minutes from the airport. (Meals: None)

Feb 6th ----------- Visit Irazu Volcano Crater (Casa Turire Hotel)

Today we will make our way to the Irazu Volcano. This is the highest volcano in all of Costa Rica and opens itself to some of the best views. We will be over 10,000ft. This is a short hike when we get to the top and a chance to look into the crater. After the visit to the volcano we will then make our way to the valley of Turrialba where you will be staying at the Casa Turire Hotel. This also is one of my favorite hotels in the country. The hotel is located on a lake and you will have a view of the active volcano of Turrialba. We stay here for the night to put us in position for rafting the Pacaure River. (Meals: Breakfast)

Feb 7th --------- Raft Pacuare River & Drive to Arenal Volcano (Casa Luna Lodge)

Don't Fall Out Gregory!!!

National Geographic has this river listed as one of the top 5 rivers to raft on the planet. You will have your own private raft and go at our pace allowing us to make stops along the way as we make our way down the rainforest on the three hour river run. After the river we will then make the drive to one of the ten most active volcanoes on Earth and that is the Arenal Volcano. We will be staying at Casa Luna Lodge which is located just infront of the Arenal Volcano and you will have amazing views of the volcano day and night. On this evening you will have a very nice dinner at the hotel. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)

Feb 8th ---------- Zipline & La Fortuna Falls (Casa Luna Lodge)

Arenal Volcano

If rafting was not enough for you then hanging from a cable that is strung 700ft above the rainforest floor with perfect views of the boulders rolling down the side of the volcano. This is one of those activities that you cant believe you did after you did it. Heck your boss Joe Brecko did it and we plan on making him the poster guy of this tour for 2011. After the zipline we will head to town where you can souvenir shop or I will take you to some of the interesting local spots if you are in the mood and also visit one of them most beautiful waterfalls in all the tropics, La Fortuna Falls. (Meals: Breakfast)

Feb 9th ----------- Canyoneering & HotSprings (Casa Luna Lodge)

Canyoneering
(Marisol is gonna get wet!)

Today is canyoneering which is another amazing adventure. You will make your way down a canyon that is located in the middle of the rainforest and is home to 3 different waterfalls 2 of which are over 160ft. When you make it to these waterfalls you will have to rappel to make your way down. In the afternoon we will take you to one of the most relaxing places you can imagine which is the thermal waters from the volcano. You will also enjoy another very nice dinner here. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)

Feb 10th ---------- Drive to Manuel Antonio (Espadilla)

Today is a travel day but we will leave after breakfast so you have time to enjoy the beach after lunch. We will be taking you to the Pacific Coast of the Manuel Antonio area which I consider the nicest beach in the country because it is where the jungle meets the ocean. (Meals: Breakfast)

Feb 11th ----------- Tour National Park (Espadilla)

La Fortuna Falls
(Great for a Pic of Gregory & Marisol)

One of the most amazing parks in the country and guaranteed all the monkeys you can handle. The hotel we have you at is located near the park and walking distance to the beach and the best part is at 4pm the squirrel monkeys make there way to the park through the hotel grounds. This species is absolutely adorable and people come to Costa Rica just to see it because this is the only area on the planet where you can find it. What many people dont know is that they pass through Espadilla everyday. The will be a great experience with one of our naturalist guides giving you a private walk through the park. The afternoon you can enjoy on the beach. (Meals: Breakfast)

Feb 12th ----------- Fly Home!
