Some must-see stops on our travels:
Arenal We cross suspension bridges to immerse ourselves in the heart of nature. 15 bridges made of steel and aluminum, ranging from 5 to 100 meters in length; accessible to everyone.
Poas Volcano, 2,708 meters high, located in the center of a National Park. The large amounts of gas and steam emitted create a captivating natural spectacle.
Rincon de la Vieja We admire a geological phenomenon that takes us back to the heart of the earth. Small bubbling craters testify to the vitality of this volcano. Red in the center, green around: we are surrounded by a dense rainforest.
Tortuguero Alla scoperta della giungla più selvaggia. Incontriamo i suoi abitanti: coccodrilli, tartarughe, scimmie, tucani e tante altre specie animali locali.
