What's this trip about?

    Your eco-adventure begins with a river rafting trip down Costa Rica´s wildest and most scenic river. Get a different perspective of the rainforest as you literally fly through the canopy (a concept pioneered in Costa Rica)! Your certified naturalist guide will lead you as you venture into the highlands, to Arenal Volcano, whose steep conical slopes rise majestically out of the vast surrounding rainforest. After adventuring, a soak in the hot springs will feel wonderful. Conclude your ecotourism experience in wildlife rich Manuel Antonio and unwind on a beautiful tropical beach.
