After breakfast, we'll meet with our river guide before a short drive to to the Balsa River, where our whitewater rafting experience awaits us! This adventure is perfect for all ages and provides two experiences of exhilarating white water action on this beautiful tropical river.

After getting off the river, we'll enjoy lunch before our afternoon hike to the Fortuna River waterfall. Part of the Arenal Volcano National Park, the waterfall tumbles amidst a biological reserve of 210 acres of transition premontane tropical wet forest. The waterfall itself was formed by the old lava flow of the Cerro Chato volcano. We'll hike along the path to the 70-meter-high waterfall, and have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the clear waters of the Fortuna River, in one of the two natural pools.

We'll return to the lodge to enjoywith plenty of time to enjoy the hot springs before dinner together.
