May 18-19
Private driver to Monteverde (Costaricadriver.net) - excellent service, our driver talked to us about Costa Rican culture, animals and food the entire drive! He even stopped at a roadstand stand so we could try all the in season fruits and we purchased some pineapple and avacados for the road!
We stayed at Rainbow Valley Lodge which has individual cabins for each party and we had beautiful views and amenities while we were there. Christian, the owner, even drove us into town our first day (it is easily walkable though).
Selvatura - Adventure park was super fun! We ziplined, walked the hanging bridges, explored the reptile house and the hummingbird garden. Highly recommend this for a full action packed day!
El Trapiche Coffee Tour - Very fun tour where you learn about coffee, chocolate and local candies and food.
Great trip! Arenal Volcano is something I will keep in mind for Costa Rica.
