Arenal, Monteverde & Las Catalinas – 10 Days
Price per person
TRIP DETAILS
Some trips are about discovering variety. This one is about experiencing it—deeply and effortlessly.
This Costa Rica itinerary 10 days takes you through three of the country’s most iconic regions: the lush rainforest of Arenal, the misty cloud forest of Monteverde, and the sun-kissed coast of Las Catalinas. Each place invites you to enjoy a different rhythm—adventure, introspection, and relaxation.
Start in Arenal, where volcano views and natural hot springs welcome you. Stay at the world-famous Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa, where comfort and nature blend seamlessly. Choose your pace: from whitewater rafting, zip lining, and volcano hikes to a more relaxed sloth and chocolate tour.
Next, head to Monteverde. Here, clouds drift through ancient trees, and nature surrounds you at every turn. Stay at Koora Hotel, a boutique hideaway in the hills. Then, either glide through the forest canopy on a thrilling zip line or join a peaceful, guided walk across misty trails and hanging bridges.
Finally, travel west to Las Catalinas, a car-free seaside village in Guanacaste. This elegant town invites you to slow down. Relax by the pool, explore the beachfront on foot, or set sail on a sunset catamaran tour. For a dose of adrenaline, hop on an ATV adventure along the coast’s rugged trails.
From treetops to tidepools, this 10-day Costa Rica itinerary is made for those who seek diversity, balance, and beauty in every step of the journey.
