 The day starts early, leaving the busy city behind to embark on a scenic journey towards Arenal Volcano. As you travel on the Pan American Highway, you’ll be treated to picturesque views of rolling hills, sugar cane fields, and distant volcanic peaks, including Poas and Barva Volcanoes. A brief stop in the famous town of Sarchi, known as the birthplace of Costa Rica’s artisans. Here, you can explore a variety of art crafts, and souvenirs, and you’ll have the chance to see the world’s largest ox cart, as recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. You can also appreciate the artwork of Costa Rican artisans and traditional woodworkers. Continue your journey through the small agricultural town of San Ramon, passing through diverse plantations that grow products like pineapples, plantains, mangoes, ornamental plants, and even cattle ranches. Your destination is the charming town of La Fortuna in the San Carlos region. Arenal Volcano once thought to be dormant, had a major eruption in 1968, making it a popular tourist attraction for those hoping to witness volcanic activity, including the release of white plumes of smoke from its conical shape. After exploring the volcano and its surroundings, you’ll have the opportunity to relax at one of the best hot springs in the area. These thermal waters are known for their cleansing and rejuvenating effects. Additionally, you can opt for spa treatments or massages, but these should be reserved in advance and paid for directly at the resort. Baldi offers 25 separate mineral water reservoirs, each with different temperatures, providing a range of options to suit your preferences. To conclude your day, a wonderful dinner is served with a fantastic view of Arenal Volcano. This ensures that you don’t miss any opportunities to admire the classic shape of the volcano as you dine.
Overall, this day trip offers a blend of natural beauty, cultural exploration in Sarchi, and relaxation in the therapeutic hot springs, making it a memorable experience for visitors to Costa Rica.
