After a comfortable hotel pickup, head north into Costa Rica’s highlands. Your first pause is Scenic Coffee Stop, where rolling coffee plantations stretch across fertile volcanic slopes.

Continue towards Arenal Volcano Viewpoint, the majestic Arenal Volcano. Its striking conical peak has become a symbol of Costa Rica, and from designated viewpoints you can capture the best panoramic photos of this natural wonder.

Next, explore La Fortuna Town, the welcoming town of La Fortuna. Stroll its lively streets, browse local shops, or enjoy a quick bite before the relaxing finale of your day.

Your last stop is Hot Springs Resort, a renowned hot springs resort. Here, thermal waters cascade through landscaped pools surrounded by tropical gardens, offering the perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

As you make the return trip to San José, you’ll pass through lush countryside, arriving back with memories of volcanoes, towns, and rejuvenating hot springs.

Important: Tickets for hot springs resorts are not included in the ride price. The coffee stop is free to visit, but any food, drink, or product purchases are not included in the ride price.
