Itinéraire
À Sarchi, vous pourrez apprécier de nombreux objets d'art et souvenirs que le Costa Rica a à offrir. Vous verrez également la plus grande charrette à bœufs du monde selon le livre Guinness. Le chariot a 2 étages de haut, près de 45 pieds de long (14 mètres) et pèse 4400 livres. (2 tonnes), et a pris 70 jours pour terminer.
L'impressionnant volcan Arenal est une magnifique merveille naturelle située à La Fortuna (La Fortune) de San Carlos, précédemment supposée être en sommeil, jusqu'en 1968, lorsqu'elle a connu une éruption majeure. Maintenant est visité par des touristes du monde entier dans l'espoir d'avoir l'occasion d'assister à une activité volcanique, comme les panaches blancs de fumée qui émanent du mastodonte de forme conique.
Ensuite, vous continuerez à vous détendre dans l'une des meilleures sources chaudes de la région où vous vous délecterez des effets nettoyants et rajeunissants des eaux thermales, ainsi que d'un massage optionnel ou d'un autre traitement spécial, si vous le souhaitez, qui doit être réservé à l'avance pour assurer la disponibilité. Les soins du spa ne sont pas inclus et sont à régler directement au resort. Ecotermales est un joyau caché qui combine les avantages des sources chaudes naturelles avec l'incroyable paix et détente de la forêt tropicale La Fortuna / Arenal.

They have to going to enjoy the trip plus the history about Costa Rica volcano area .plus the forest and spent time at the water thermals is a good experience.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour, learning about Costa Rica’s volcanoes and history, exploring the forest, and relaxing in the thermal waters. It’s truly a unique experience, and we’re happy it made your trip special.
What an amazing day and start to my trip in Costa Rica! First, Mario is an outstanding tour guide. We had a large group but he was incredible - so kind and he taught us a lot of Costa Rican history. We saw the largest ox cart in the world (carts are an important Costa Rican symbol related to the coffee trade), had lunch at an excellent restaurant, saw a beautiful view of the Arenal volcano (cloudy day but still amazing) and ended by relaxing in the volcanic hot springs (resort type atmosphere at Ecotermales) with an upscale buffet. Made lots of sweet new friends from all over the world. Highly recommend this tour and thanks again to Mario who made it even more special!
Thank you for such an amazing review! We’re delighted to hear your trip to Costa Rica started in the best way possible. Mario will be so happy to know that his kindness, knowledge, and passion made your day extra special. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed each part of the experience—from learning about the ox cart’s history to savoring a delicious lunch, admiring Arenal Volcano, and relaxing at Ecotermales hot springs.Making new friends along the way is the perfect bonus! We truly appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in Costa Rica.
Wonderful experience. Eric was our guide and Alex our driver. Both were great. Lot of activities packed in the day but they were all well timed and we were never rushed. There were ample stops for bathroom breaks. We made an unplanned bathroom break half way between the Sarchí and la fortune drive. Ended up at a fruit shop where we had some impromptu fruits. Suggest they add that stop to the tour.

This was an amazing day! Our tour guide, Donald, was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Our driver, David, was safe and the tour bus was clean and comfortable. I‘ll admit I thought the stop in Sarchi was going to be an unnecessary tourist trap, but it was a lovely little artisan town and we only spent just enough time there to learn the history of the ox cart’s significance in Costa Rica and to visit the gift shop at the ox cart factory, where I absolutely wanted to buy something made by local woodworkers, who were there working while we visited. The lunch at Selva Rustica was incredible, and the restaurant was beautiful. The tour only spends about 20 minutes at the overlook of the Arenal volcano, which I wished was slightly longer but there really isn’t anything else to do other than look at it, and it is a long day that others may not want to be made longer just to keep looking at a (majestic) volcano. Visiting the hot springs was a wonderful experience. I paid the extra to go to Ecotermales and was happy with that decision (even though I don’t know what I missed at Baldi, where the rest of my group went); it was quite private until 5 PM when it quickly got pretty crowded. The dinner at Ecotermales was also absolutely delicious, and the staff there were wonderful. The drive home was long, as we were warned and couldn’t be avoided. We did get to stop for a bathroom break. Everything went according to schedule. I almost decided not to go on this tour at the last minute based on limited and some questionable reviews of the Baldi tour with this company, and having had a bad experience with a different touring company the previous day, but I am so glad I did. In future visits, I will plan to book again with Expediciones Tropicales and highly recommend them and this tour. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
