Itinerary
Liberia
Know as the "white city" Liberia is the capital of Guanacaste and the main city in the North Pacific side of the country.
Café Macadamia is the best restaurant in Arenal Volcano lake. People from all over Costa Rica and from around the world travel to this place to taste the amazing food with the best view of the Arenal Volcano Lake. In here we will have breakfast
Lake Arenal
Lake Arenal sits at the base of the Arenal Volcano in the northern highlands of Costa Rica. It is the country’s largest landlocked body of water, with a surface that covers nearly 33 square miles (85 square km) and a depth that reaches some 200 feet (60 m). In 1979, Lake Arenal was enlarged to three times its original size with the construction of a hydroelectric dam. The towns of Arenal and Tondadora, which were originally sited on the spot where the lake now rests, were relocated to the northeastern side of the lake. Nowadays, Lake Arenal’s dam is hugely important to the country, as it produces nearly 12% of Costa Rica’s electric energy.
Arenal Hanging Bridges
A short walk will introduce you to the interactions of the rainforest and the hanging bridges will show you a different view of the area.
Titoku Hot Springs
After lunch, the hot mineral springs will give you the opportunity to relax.
