3/DAYS/ 2 NTS TABACON HOT SPRINGS /WITH SAFARI FLOATING TOUR.
DAY 01: Am Pick up at your San Jose Hotel to take our most popular tour! The Arenal Volcano tour visits one of the most active volcanoes in the Americas. From our observation areas, you may feel the ground tremble and may see the night sky explode with ash and lava in a natural display. Next, we will visit the hotsprings of the volcano, where you can relax in the soothing waters and be caressed by the cool night air while observing the stars and the incredible night sky above the volcano. At a convenient time after your arrival, we will treat you to a splendid dinner.

Am pick up for the Penas Blancas River Safari Float tour.
We start with a brief 20 minute drive to the lower Peñas Blancas River in an air-conditioned van. From there we launch inflable rafts on this slower moving section of the river. Enjoy a relaxing 2 hour float with no motor, only the incredible sounds of nature around you. Our expert bilingual naturalist guide will describe the many different flora and fauna of the region. Along the way it is possible to see 2 species of sloth’s, monkeys, 3 species of Toucans, crocodiles, Jesus Christ Lizards, caimans, different colored iguanas, mammals, and a variety of birds.
The second part of the tour includes a stop at the farm of Don Pedro Farm. This is the highlight of the trip for most tourists. Shake his hand; calloused from many years of hard work. He has endured 65 years on what most considered useless farmland, and without roads, electricity, or running water. Our guide will translate as you enjoy a visit with this fascinating man. His family will prepare wonderful Tico snacks for you to enjoy.
Next we journey into the Primary Tropical Rainforest along his farm…if the weather permits. You will be surrounded by trees over 100 hundred years old as we look for more animals including the “Blue Jeans” Poison Dart Frog. Our guide will educate you on the many medicinal purposes of plants in the rainforest. On the trails you can see one of the smallest flying mammals in Costa Rica. You will also learn of the interesting relationship/comparison between frogs and humans.
Finally we re-board the rafts for our final 40 minute float to Boca Arenal while we continue to enjoy the scenery. The return trip to La Fortuna allows you to see the extensive agriculture system of San Carlos County.
