Once in the Park, a short hike awaits you. It is easy to reach the main crater where, on clear days, you can see its lagoon as well as the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Next, you will visit the city of Cartago and admire the Basilica of the Angels, which, according to religious tradition, is a pilgrimage site for many believers.
Lankester Garden
After visiting the Basilica, the next stop is the Lankester Botanical Garden, a research center of the University of Costa Rica specializing in the protection and study of orchids, while also featuring other species such as bromeliads, cacti, and more.

As your final destination, you will visit the Orosi Valley. Here you will find one of the few remaining colonial churches, and in this town you can enjoy a delicious typical lunch at one of the local restaurants.

Shared transfer from San José to Arenal
Your transfer from San José to Arenal will be a scenic and relaxing journey through the lush Costa Rican countryside. Along the way, you will enjoy beautiful views of rolling hills, charming rural towns, and the impressive landscapes that lead to the majestic Arenal Volcano.

La Fortuna is home to Arenal's largest recreation area. The entire region is a tropical paradise for outdoor activities. Volcanic vistas enhance the landscapes and increase the enjoyment of thermal waters. A lake and several rivers will attract you to the diverse water activities available.

Arenal Volcano is one of Costa Rica's most remarkable natural wonders. Standing at 1,657 meters (5,437 feet), this volcano has remained inactive since 2010. However, this does not make it any less majestic to behold, as it is practically a giant that reaches toward the region's sky. Rising above the rainforest that surrounds it, Arenal Volcano frames the horizon with nearly perfect symmetry.

Rincón de la Vieja is home to Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park. Rincón de la Vieja is located in northwestern Guanacaste, very close to Liberia, and this place is perfect for great activities for visitors to enjoy such as hiking trails and horseback rides, which are excellent ways to enjoy the natural beauty of the area and have memorable adventures. There are numerous waterfalls in the area, the largest being Oropéndola Waterfall and La Victoria Waterfall, which flow into the Colorado River.
In the sections of the National Park, the Pailas area and the Santa María area, here you will find trails to waterfalls, fumaroles, and mud pools.

Hike to the Las Pailas Sector of Rincón de la Vieja National Park
The Las Pailas sector spectacularly displays the power of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, the most active and largest volcano in Guanacaste. Fumaroles, bubbling mud pots, and many other attractions provide an experience you will not find at any other volcano in Costa Rica.
With a naturalist guide, you will walk the 3.5 km circular trail of Las Pailas through dry tropical forest to enjoy the best views of the volcano, volcanic activity, incredible nature, and wildlife sightings. This is an area with more than 300 bird species and many other animals, such as peccaries, armadillos, coatis, iguanas, and white-faced, howler, and spider monkeys.
Oropéndola Waterfall
When you finish the hike, prepare yourself for a refreshing dip in the La Oropéndola waterfall. From the national park entrance there is a short walk along a trail with varied terrain that leads to the river. You will also walk a short distance in the river until you reach the waterfall. La Oropéndola waterfall, with its impressive 25 meters, falls into a sparkling turquoise pool in the lush canyon of the Río Blanco, creating an incredible tropical oasis. After relaxing for a while at the waterfall, these one-day tours in Guanacaste end with the hike back to Hacienda Guachipelín.
