Itinerary

  • Sarchi

    Enroute to the Arenal Volcano there will be a stop in the famous town of Sarchi, known as the birthplace of Costa Rica’s Artisans. In Sarchi, you may very well see an ox cart that holds the title as being the largest ox cart in the world. The cart is made of wood (cedar) and is decorated with stunning colors, such as a bright orange. The design is typical and intricate, indicative of traditional oxcarts. The ox cart is two stories high and took 70 days to complete. The oxcart is also deserves an honorable mention in the Guinness book of world records.

    45 minutes

  • N/A (Pass By)

    The journey will then continue, traversing diverse plantations with agricultural products, including pineapple farms, and mango groves, ornamental plants and cattle ranches until arriving to the small town of La Fortuna, and stopping to enjoy lunch at a cozy restaurant with a spectacular view of the Arenal volcano.

  • Arenal 1968 Volcano View & Trails

    The impressive Arenal Volcano is a magnificent natural wonder that is situated in La Fortuna (The Fortune) of San Carlos, Costa Rica, providing thousands and thousands of tourists with the opportunity to witness volcanic activity, such as the white plumes of smoke that emanate from the conical shaped behemoth. It is important to note that the volcano had previously been assumed to be dormant, until in 1968, when it experienced a major eruption.

    1 hour

  • Baldi Hot Springs

    Then you will go on to relax at one of the best hot springs in the area where you will enjoy the rejuvenating effects of the thermal waters, as well as an optional massage or other special treatment that must be reserved ahead of time. The facilities at Baldi provided 25 separate mineral water reservoirs that flow naturally from the volcano. The medicinal waters are certified by L.N.A. (Laboratorio Nacional de Aguas), and the temperatures range from 93, 100, 102, 104, 109, 110, 113, 116, 152, providing clients with a wide range of options that fit their needs. And for a perfect ending, before going back to San José, a wonderful dinner will be served with a great view of the volcano so that you do not miss any opportunity to look at the stunning and classically shaped volcano one more time.

Such an incredible experience. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, and a heck of a driver. We ran into thick clouds that covered the view of the road & he was incredible. The weather changes…. A LOT, so dress comfortably & prepare for humidity. The food was great, the people were great, and the hot springs made me want to move here.

Exploring La Fortunas Finest

Published on Jan, 2025

My tour in Costa Rica was an unforgettable experience. I had the pleasure of having Max as my tour guide, and he was absolutely amazing. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about Costa Rica and its diverse vegetation, but he also had a fantastic sense of humor that made the trip even more enjoyable. Max’s helpfulness and expertise truly enhanced the journey, and I feel so lucky to have had him lead the tour. The adventure began with a pickup at 8:20 PM, and we returned around 10 PM. Although it was a long day, it was completely worth it. With only two days to explore San José and other parts of Costa Rica, this trip was the perfect way to get a glimpse of the country’s beauty and charm. The scenic views were breathtaking, even though the volcanoes were shrouded in clouds. La Fortuna was the highlight for me—I absolutely loved it. If you’re a fan of nature, hot springs, hiking, and wildlife, this area is a must-visit. I know that if I ever return to Costa Rica, I’ll plan to stay in La Fortuna to explore it even more.

Great tour

Pedro was excellent and our driver was amazing and friendly as well. He stopped so we got the rare chance to see a “ghost bird” and a sloth that was eating his lunch as we weee.
