Seven days through the wild heart of Costa Rica, built for first-timers. Hike the trails around Arenal Volcano and soak in natural hot springs, then walk the canopy on a hanging bridges tour with a naturalist guide watching for birds and wildlife in the treetops. The final stretch heads to the Pacific coast at Manuel Antonio, where the national park and its beaches sit side by side. A balance of adventure and pura vida downtime, from the volcano to the sea.
