Rainforest, Volcano and Beaches

Use this seven-day plan as a starting point. A Pacific Trade Winds vacation specialist can adjust the stays, activities, transportation, and pace to fit your dates, party, interests, comfort, and budget. Every requested change is confirmed and repriced before booking.

Arenal brings rainforest trails, volcanic scenery, hot springs, and approachable adventure choices. Manuel Antonio changes the pace with Pacific beaches, abundant wildlife, and a spacious resort base. Together they make a balanced route for families, friends, and first-time Costa Rica travelers who want nature, activity, and time to unwind.

• Experiences: Keep the three starting activities or explore other nature, adventure, culture, and coastal ideas.
• Transportation: Ask a planner to confirm private transfers, shared regional service, or a rental-car alternative.
• Pace: Preserve the open Manuel Antonio day, add an experience, or reshape the route around your priorities.

Arenal Springs provides the first three nights near La Fortuna, with a volcano natural-history hike and a choice of canopy experience. Los Altos then supplies three nights in a Rain Forest Condo Suite in Manuel Antonio, where the guided national-park outing explores coastal habitats. One day remains open for the selected stay, beach time or a separately arranged excursion. The seven-day trip contrasts inland rainforest with the Pacific coast, keeping the different room arrangements and chosen canopy product clear in the final proposal.
