He or she will drive with you to the Arenal area (3-1/2 hours). Overnight at Lost Iguana Lodge.

Morning visit the Arenal Hanging Bridges Project with eight fixed bridges, ranging in length between 8 and 22 meters, and six hanging bridges. Built with the latest techniques and designed with an eye for both beauty and safety, the hanging bridges are between 48 and 98 meters long and made of galvanized steel and high-strength aluminum. The safety mesh and the suspension cables are all galvanized steel. The entire project was designed to blend with the natural environment, leaving the forest virtually intact. The trails, covering a distance of about 3.1 kms, are right inside the forest. As you walk, you can appreciate a great diversity of flowers and wildlife that are typical of the rainforest as well as some imposing views of the Volcano (weather permitting).

Night visit to the Hidalgo Family Hot Springs, the ideal alternative to the mass tourism hot springs in the Arenal Area. When we first met the Hidalgo Family in 2000, they were reluctant to open up their family farm to visitors. Finally they agreed to try it by appointment only on a trial basis. They found, perhaps to their surprise, that they enjoyed having foreign guests on this basis and have now put in changing rooms and a restaurant. The springs consist of five free-flowing pools set in a natural river gorge. Water temperature ranges from 100F (38C) to 109F (43C) depending on the pool. A Costa Rican home-style meal in the restaurant, modeled after the first house that Don Manuel and Dona Hortemida Hidalgo built when they settled on the farm in 1940, is included. Overnight at The Lost Iguana.

Meet your driver in the hotel lobby for trip to Arenal Lake. Here you will board a boat for the 30-min. ride to Rio Chiquito, where land transportation will be waiting to take you to Monteverde (approximately 2 1/2-hour drive). Monteverde is a peaceful community made up of dairy farmers, naturalists and tourism service providers who have joined together to create a model for sustainable development and protection of the environment that is becoming known throughout the world. Founded in 1954 by a group of Quakers searching for a peaceful place to live, it is the home of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, the Children's Eternal Rain Forest, and the Santa Elena Reserve. Rest of the day free. Overnight at Monteverde Lodge & Gardens.
