Day 5: Volcano Hike & Sky Trek, Arenal
The Arenal Volcano trek explores the northwest part of the volcano. You'll cross the rainforest over a large lava flow from the 1968 eruption observing the great variety of plants, wildlife, magnificent lava stone formations, and the Arenal Lake.

After the volcano trek, ride a tram up the mountain, and then get back to the base by riding thrilling ziplines. Just get off and jump on to the next cable. You’ll ride 7 cables that go up to 200m (656ft) in height and 750m (2460ft) in length where you will be astounded by its impressive heights, and speeds that go up to 70km/h (43.5mph). Once at the top, admire the surrounding mountains and enormous vistas unlike any you can see in Costa Rica from any other viewpoint.

Day 6: Monteverde Cloud Forest
This morning, transfer to Monteverde. The Monteverde Cloud Forest was founded 40 years ago by a small group of conservation-minded Quakers who were looking for a peaceful place to live. Its Cloud Forest Reserve is one of the most outstanding wildlife sanctuaries in the tropics. This high elevation rain forest offers miles of trails with excellent opportunities for bird watching. The resplendent Quetzal is often sighted up here (mostly January to July). It is for this reason that more visitors are attracted to this private reserve than to any other in Costa Rica. While here, enjoy amazing walks through hanging bridges, breathtaking forest views, and wildlife observation.

Later this evening set out on a Monteverde night adventure. This trek starts at sunset, the time when all the wildlife is very active. Diurnal animals are looking for someplace to sleep; and nocturnal animals are starting their hunting activities.The most common animals you will see are sloths, coatis, agoutis, porcupines, gray fox, tarantulas, frogs, some species of insects along with many sleeping birds.

Day 7: Curicancha Wildlife Refuge, Monteverde
This morning, experience a private exploration of the Curicancha Wildlife Refuge. Curicancha is part of a 210 acre private wildlife reserve in the very heart of Monteverde including both the premontane zone right below the mountain zone, and humid virgin moist forests. You begin your trek from a vista taking in the Gulf of Nicoya surrounded by 1,800 recently planted trees. Birds and wildlife here are in danger of extinction, including the Quetzal Resplendent, the brilliantly colored bird people come here from far and wide to see. Follow a series of nature trails to the depths of the forest where you will learn about the critical roles played by all the residents of this incredibly complex and diverse habitat.

This afternoon is at leisure. Explore the extensive gardens or relax in the lounge at the Monteverde Lodge.
