Day 01.
Touchdown in San José
Welcome to Costa Rica! After landing in San José, you’ll be met at the airport and whisked away to your chic city hotel. Settle in, shake off the jet lag, and enjoy a local welcome dinner if time allows.
Day 02.
Pacuare Lodge Arrival
Trade city scenes for jungle sounds as you’re transferred by 4x4 and river raft to your eco-luxury lodge deep in the rainforest. The journey itself is part of the adventure - think winding roads, wildlife sightings, and river crossings. Settle into your open-air suite surrounded by nature.
Day 03.
Jungle Adventures
& River Thrills
Today’s your day to explore the wild. Choose from canyoning, waterfall hikes, or a zipline through the canopy. In the afternoon, kick back at the lodge with a fresh juice or cocktail and let the jungle sounds do their thing.
Day 04.
Rest & Recharge
in the Rainforest
Today’s for hammock time, spa treatments, birdwatching, or a casual jungle walk. You’re deep in nature - soak it in without a schedule.
Day 05.
Scenic Transfer to Arenal
Depart the rainforest and head toward the iconic Arenal Volcano. Your next boutique stay is nestled in the hills with sweeping views of the volcano and surrounding forest. Spend your evening soaking in hot springs under the stars.
Day 06.
Hanging Bridges
& Volcano Views
Start the day walking the famous hanging bridges surrounded by lush canopy life. Afterward, enjoy a guided volcano hike or opt for a chocolate-making experience if you’re craving something sweet.

Arenal at Your Pace
Sleep in. Book a spa treatment. Take a coffee farm tour or lounge with a book and the volcano in the background. This is your day to play it slow.

Journey to the Gulf of Papagayo
Make your way to the Pacific coast. Check into a luxury beachfront resort where the energy shifts to salty air, sunsets, and chilled cocktails.

Ocean Day
Paddleboard in calm bays, snorkel coral gardens, or cruise the coast by catamaran. Or don’t. There’s always the pool, another cocktail, and another view. However you spend it, this is a day designed to breathe.

Final Full Day
Your last full day is all yours. Book a beachfront massage, enjoy fine dining, or walk the shore at sunrise. However you want to close this chapter, today’s the day.
