This is the time window the we will be in La Fortuna/Arenal! Be sure to bring good water shoes, inexpensive sunglasses, and a hat for the sun and bring everything with a strap on it.

ETA 3pm, for individual check ins & rest. Possible Activities: Hot Springs- (my favorite) these simple small "resorts" are $10-30/ea for a full day of relaxing. If you wanted a more posh resort, there are many, but we will likely just be at a locals' spot. Average pricing- Zip lining- $70, Rafting- $70, Hiking $0, Hanging Bridges $50, night walks $45, Chocolate & Coffee tour $35 The town has shopping, dining, bars/clubs, & other relaxing activities. Everything is reasonably priced & not too fancy, this area is more about nature & adventure. Please confirm any optional excursion only if you will for sure be going, to avoid refund issues. We can either pay our own entrance etc in Colones upon arrival, or beforehand either individually or in a group, if allowed. We hope to get a head count on who is interested in what & then try for group discounts. We hope you love this town as much as we do! On the road on 7/30 by 1pm to Manuel Antonio!
