Day 1 Arrive San Jose
Welcome to Costa Rica! Upon arrival today you will be met and transferred to your hotel in the heart of San Jose. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Day 2 San Jose-Arenal Volcano | Meals: BLD
After breakfast, our drive takes us to the northern lowlands of Costa Rica. Our first stop is visit to the famous Poas Volcano. Then, we continue to the artisan town of Sarchi, where you will have time to browse through the shops. Among the handicrafts you will find is the iconic colorful oxcart. After stopping for lunch at a local restaurant, we continue on to Arenal. This afternoon, we visit the world famous Tabacon Hot Springs. The springs are a result of the rainwater heated by magma in the Earth's interior, which, once heated, rise to the earth's surface along with the minerals found in the earth's crust, resulting in the mineral springs thought to have many benefits for the body. Enjoy dinner before returning to your hotel.
Nayara is an authentic Costa Rican journey, a property that reflects its location and respects the ecological balance of one of the most beautiful places on earth. The casitas, suites, and villas have large screened windows that open up to bring nature inside. Light flows through the interiors, from the bedroom to the private gardens with rain showers, to the private terraces with secluded Jacuzzis. Modern amenities compliment the rooms to make them the most desired and exceptional accommodations.
