Monteverde & Arenal
The stunning Monteverde Cloud Forest and Arenal Volcano form a must-see region of Costa Rica.
Until recently, the Arenal Volcano was famous among seismologists as it was one of the most active volcanoes in the world. But beyond its photogenic appeal, the surrounding area offers plenty for visitors to enjoy.
The fertile lands at the foothills provide excellent hiking opportunities and white-water rafting excursions along nearby rivers add adventure to any stay. For a luxury holiday in Costa Rica, visiting the hot springs and adjoining spa facilities is the perfect way to unwind and relax after a day of exploration.
Arenal and Monteverde make a perfect combination. In Monteverde, beneath a deep green canopy – 90 percent of which is virgin rainforest – an astounding variety of flora and fauna thrives. Following trails with a local guide, you might spot miniature frogs, sleepy sloths, and the elusive resplendent Quetzal.
Suspension bridges among the treetops offer a bird’s-eye view of this ecological paradise, while zip lines between viewing platforms provide thrills for adventurous travelers. After a day of discovery, guests can retreat to luxury eco-lodges thoughtfully built around the reserve, blending comfort with nature.
