El Alto de Monterrey is a renowned viewpoint in a rural area, providing excellent views of both La Fortuna and the impressive Arenal Volcano (weather and time permitting). The guide will decide if you can drive to the higher viewpoint. If not, there is an easier-to-reach lower viewpoint for those who may find the drive difficult. Both locations offer an amazing view!

Fed by the majestic Arenal Volcano, the Arenal River is wide and usually calm, with refreshing, pleasantly cool waters perfect for swimming. We will cross the river by ATV or SBS, park in the shade to rehydrate, and take a break. Those interested can take a rejuvenating swim to wash off the dust and mud, and then we continue exploring charming local towns and awe-inspiring views.
