The proximity of Costa Rica to major hubs in the US, makes this idyllic, little, peaceful country the perfect place to escape to for an adventurous, long-weekend. Pack in a lot of action and adventure in this exciting 4-day, 3-night Weekend Warrior Getaway to Costa Rica!

Day One

Ready for your exciting adventure in Costa Rica? You'll be met by our driver at the San José Airport (or other location, just check if there is a price change) and once settled in your comfortable air-conditioned transport, you'll set off to travel through beautiful, rolling hills and eventually arrive at the Epicenter of Adventure of Costa Rica– the Arenal Volcano area.

Once checked into your hotel, the Volcano Lodge & Springs, you'll be able to relax at the hotel's own hot springs and have dinner with a gorgeous view of the majestic Arenal Volcano.

Day Two

Your morning transport will pick you up after breakfast and after a few minutes, you’ll change vehicles to the ‘Jungle Limo’ (the rugged Land Cruiser all-terrain trucks). After a fun, 25-minute ride you will arrive at the Lost Canyon Operation Center. Your guide will help you get suited up with high-quality canyoneering gear.

After the safety talk, you’ll be ready to start the 2-hour adventure in the Lost Canyon: rappelling down tropical waterfalls, jumping into pools, zipping your way down on guided rappels, river tracing, down, climbing the canyon walls and river boulders and hiking up through the rainforest.

At the end of this amazing time you’re sure to be ready to enjoy a delicious lunch!

After lunch you'll be taken back to your hotel to relax and soak in the natural hot springs to recover from your day’s adventures and enjoy a nice dinner.

Day Three

Your chance to do world-class whitewater rafting or other fun water activities.

The Class 3-4 Rafting is on the famous Rio Sarapiqui. The Sarapiquí River is one of Costa Rica’s most-exuberant rivers! You’ll get about 2.5 hours of rafting with more than 12 continuous, class-3-4 rapids along more than 10kms of lush, vibrant rainforest You'll enjoy a wonderful fruit break on the river side and after rafting enjoy a delicious lunch.

Or if you'd rather a milder adventure but still a lot of fun, there's the option of class 2-3 river rafting,  perfect families and first-timers - or if rafting is not your thing ,try a nature-lover’s safari float to see a wide-array of rainforest creatures along the way! 

 

 

Day Four

The feeling of flying through the tops of a tree canopy above thick rainforest is something you must experience. 

Discover Costa Rica's rainforest from a bird's eyes view! Located in Arenal's primary rainforest, at the base of the Arenal Volcano (near La Fortuna), the Ecoglide Arenal Canopy Tour and Park combines 13 exciting ziplines, gentle trails and a exciting Tarzan swing, promising you a dose of nature, adventure, adrenaline and amazing sceneries, all in a safe, eco-friendly (and family-friendly) setting!
