Begin your tour with a visit the renowned La Paz Waterfall Gardens, an aggregation of gorgeous waterfalls and a comprehensive rescued wildlife preserve. Continue on to Arenal Volcano, a steaming volcano whose steep dark conical slopes rise out of vast rainforests. Continue on to Arenal Volcano with occasional flows of hot lava descending its steep conical slopes. Next visit the renowned Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and its appealing rural Quaker/Tico community.
