Enjoy adventure and nature with this colorful program that will allow you to discover three destinations that have a lot to offer on your vacation. Start by visiting the well-known nature of Costa Rica, a country that has the privilege of being the habitat of 5% of the existing biodiversity throughout the world, and enjoy tours of the volcanoes, as well as other tourist sites that will surprise you. Your second stop will be the beautiful Panama. Its geographical position has played an important role in its history as its canal has been the main commercial route between the Americas.

Your vacation cannot be unforgettable if you do not visit the Dominican Republic, a small island with a big heart that you can enjoy in a short time and will surely make you want to extend your vacation. First, you will arrive in Santo Domingo, a destination with a lot of history and culture and a prelude to the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana with its vibrant nighttime entertainment, marine exploration, and relaxation activities that will make this trip an unforgettable journey.

As we ascend towards the volcano, you will notice the difference in terms of microclimates and vegetation and will observe the great diversity of agriculture present during the trip, among them: ferns, flowers, strawberries, as well as the cattle ranches and the view of the central valley, which creates a beautiful landscape.

These 2,708-meter (8,000 ft) tall colossus is active, and you will not only be able to admire its impressive crater and gas emanations, but also you will learn about its phreatic and fumarolic activity, as well as the different ecosystems and lush vegetation found in this beautiful national park.

The impressive Arenal Volcano is a natural wonder found in La Fortuna de San Carlos, Alajuela, offering thousands of tourists the opportunity to appreciate the columns of white smoke, ash, and fumarolic activity emanating from the conical colossus. It is important to bear in mind that the volcano had been dormant for at least 450 years, until July 29, 1968, when it experienced a major eruption, starting a new period of pyroclastic activity which has been decreasing in the last few years.

On the way to the Arenal Volcano, we will make a stop in the famous town of Sarchí, known as the cradle of Costa Rican artisans, where you will have the best opportunity to acquire souvenirs such as wood crafts, clothing, and souvenirs in general. The journey continues, through forested areas, as well as plantations of various agricultural products, including coffee, pineapple, ornamental plants, and cattle farms, until we reach the beautiful town of La Fortuna, to stop and enjoy a meal in a cozy restaurant with a spectacular view of the Arenal Volcano.

After lunch we will visit a scenic viewpoint that is closer to the base of the volcano where, in turn, the view of the Arenal Lagoon is appreciated. Eventually, you will relax in one of the best hot springs in the area, where they can enjoy its rejuvenating effects, as well as a massage (optional activity) or other special treatments that must be booked in advance.
