incredibly
diverse population of wildlife is what you will find
in this area. Check in at the Arenal Paraiso Hotel

Morning departure to the Arenal Lake where a boat
will be waiting for you to take you to the other
side of the lake where a 4 x 4 vehicle will take you
on gravel road to reach
Monteverde. Monteverde was founded about 40 years

wild life sanctuaries in the tropics. Check in at
