Trip Overview

Day One: Arrival, Waterfalls, & Hot Springs
Arrive in San José and begin the journey by hiking to five waterfalls and enjoy a relaxed lunch at La Paz Waterfall Gardens before transferring to the Arenal region. The afternoon is reserved for settling in and enjoying the natural hot springs at the hotel, followed by a welcome dinner.
Day Two: Rainforest & Culture

After morning yoga and breakfast, explore the rainforest on a guided Hanging Bridges hike with a local naturalist. Walk through lush forest trails and suspended bridges high in the canopy as your guide points out native plants, wildlife, and hidden details of the ecosystem. In the afternoon, we’ll soak in a natural hot springs river warmed by the area’s volcanic activity.
Day Three: Adventure Day or Jungle Hike

Our third day offers flexibility based on how you’d like to move. Choose canyon rappelling and fast Class II–III whitewater rafting (both with local, expert guides and certified equipment), or choose a more relaxed guided rainforest hike highlighting Costa Rica’s landscapes and biodiversity.
Day Four: Arenal Volcano Hike & Celebration

A hike through the landscape provides context on the region’s natural forces and showcases one of the world’s best-formed conical volcanos. After lunch at a local favorite, we’ll journey to a 210-foot waterfall before a visit to a local artisan market. The day concludes with a private celebration dinner, a memorable evening of local flavors curated by Dr. Jessica and shared moments as the group comes together to mark the close of the Journey.
