In the morning, your local guide will pick you up for a walk on the ancient lava flows on the slopes of the volcano. During this walk, if you are lucky, you may see varied wildlife hidden in the beautiful and picturesque flora. In the afternoon you can visit on your own the impressive La Fortuna waterfall (not included). In a beautiful setting surrounded by abundant vegetation and a wide variety of flora and fauna, this waterfall emerges from the dense green jungle before falling about 65 meters into a natural pool. This magnificent waterfall is fed by the Fortuna River and its tributaries, located in the mountains of the area. The trail will take you about 600 meters to the attractive natural pool, where you can swim in its refreshing waters. This activity is recommended for people in good physical condition, as you must descend 500 steps to reach the base of the waterfall and then ascend by the same route.
If you prefer, you can simply relax in the hot springs of your hotel and enjoy time at the pleasant facilities.
