Activity Level: Moderate
Price: From $1,135 per person*
An fun and affordable Costa Rica vacation discovering an active volcano, walking through the forest canopy and exploring the rainforest and beaches of national parks. This flexible trip allows you to add your own activities or just relax in the tropical weather with only the soothing sound of the waves.
Day 1: Welcome to Costa Rica!
Meet our local representative as you step out of the international airport for your transfer to the north side of the country and to the skirts of the majestic Arenal Volcano. 
Arenal's almost perfect conical shape and long red-hot flows offer a glimpse into the real power of the natural world. Rising 5,436 feet above sea level, the majestic peak is the most active of all of Costa Rica's volcanoes. It booms and rumbles consistently and if the weather is clear in the evening, shows off its nocturnal light show.
Overnight in a standard room at Volcano Lodge or similar. [Meals on own]
Day 2: Zip Line through the jungle
Wake up, get up!!! A busy and exciting day is about to begin. The Sky Trek jungle canopy tour zigzags down the foothills of the mountain. Colorful tropical birds abound in the surrounding forest canopy as you dash down along the cables. Take in the beautiful views of Arenal as you zip along the 8 cross-sectional cables.
