At the Arenal Volcano - active since 1968, see by night, the spectacular display of volcanic activity, which may include explosions and lava flows,  weather permitting. By day enjoy a guided walk in the Arenal National Park to the lava flows (transportation provided).

The scenic backwater canals of Tortuguero along the Caribbean coast and the Tortuguero National Park are a must for nature lovers. You will have two full days to explore the area, including two boat excursions with local guides and a visit to the Caribbean conservation Corporation Museum to learn about the Atlantic Green sea turtle. Tortuguero National Park, originally intended to protect a major nesting beach of the turtle, now protects 51,870 acres, one of the last large areas of tropical rain forests in Central America.
