After breakfast the singles travel group will explore the National Park of Tortuguero. See the green turtles, sea birds, monkeys, and even the rare manatee. The tour ends on the beaches where we can see turtle tracks and occasionally nearly hatched babies. Lunch at the lodge. Afternoon we visit Tortuguero town and the Caribbean Conservation Center.

Time for shopping and lunch in La Fortuna before our afternoon cooking class at a local finca. Learn to cook typical Costa Rican dishes using fresh ingredients that are picked right there in the orchard.

After a long day we can soak in the hot mineral springs at The Springs. Perdido Springs is a connected system of trails and seven spring fed pools located within a forest canyon. The pools range in temperature from 76°F to 98°F.

Day 7 - Nov 19
Arenal - Monteverde
Arenal-Monteverde by Lake is the fastest and newest way to travel. We board a very comfortable pontoon boat for a 40 minutes ride to Río Chiquito, a little town on the other side of the lake. Once at Rí Chiquito, we leave the boat and have a short break to stretch before a 1.5 hour microbus ride to our hotel.

After lunch at our hotel, drive an ATV through private farms, rustic roads and various small towns. Beautiful landscapes will enhance the tour while driving by Las Nubes, Cebadilla, Los Tornos and La Cruz until your return to the departure place after a 9 1/2 mile ride.

Dinner at a local restaurant.
Overnight at El Establo Hotel  (Meals: B-D)

Day 8 - Nov 20 - Monteverde
Let's get an early start so we can do both Ziplining and the bridges 

Sky Trek is a system of trails, suspension bridges, and zip lines that offer visitors the opportunity to observe, view and appreciate tropical vegetation from different vantage points above the canopy. Two suspended bridges in, and above the canopy, one 265 feet long, and one 60 meter. There are three platforms above the canopy, connected by zip lines. A canopy observation tower, 72' high, 10 cables system, the longest is 1,400 feet long.

Afternoon at leisure to walk into Monteverde for shopping, lunch or spend time at the hotel.
Overnight El Establo Hotel (Meals: B)

Day 9 - Nov 21
Montevede - San Jose
After breakfast at the hotel we will hike in the Monteverde reserve for 3 hours. Elevation ranges from 600 meters above sea level to 1800 meters on isolated peaks. Trails are in excellent condition with railings on the steps and in some cases slices of tree trunks creating a lily pond like path to keep people from walking through mud.

Then we transfer from Monteverde to San José. Lunch on own at the famous El Caballo Blanco Restaurant en route.

Our farewell dinner is at a local Costa Rican restaurant called Tiquicia, featuring marimba music and a folkloric show.
Overnight at Sleep Inn (Meals: B - D)

Day 10 - Nov 22 - San Jose
After Breakfast say goodbye to your new single friends as we head to the airport. 

Tortuguero National Park shelters a fabulous array of wildlife, including more than 300 bird species, among them the great green macaw; 57 species of amphibians and 111 of reptiles, including three species of marine turtles; 60 mammal species, including 13 of Costa Rica's 16 endangered species, including jaguars, tapirs,The wide-open canals make viewing easy for spotting crocodiles, giant iguanas, and basilisk lizards basking atop the branches, swallow-tailed hawks and vultures swooping over the treetops, and caimans on the fallen raffia palm branches at the side of the river.

The Arenal Volcano is the only volcano in Costa Rica constantly active since it woke up after 400 years with the big 1968 eruption producing huge ash columns, explosions & glowing red lava almost every day. It is considered one of the ten most active volcanoes in the world.

 Photos and Reviews from Past Trips

"A shout out to travelers from San Jose, Costa Rica! We're winding down and getting ready to go home tomorrow :( This has been the adventure of a lifetime! I've done so many things I never thought I'd find myself doing! Our guide far exceeded any expectations we had. She has a genuine admiration for her country which showed in every description and explanation she offered! I will miss being woken by Howler monkeys in the rainforest the most! Thank you for this experience!"

I was part of the group from Best Single Travel's for which Nancy Madrigal was the guide.  I was sorry that you weren't able to attend the farewell dinner that was held on 19th, as I was hoping to personally thank you for making all of the arrangements that our entire group enjoyed.  What a wonderful week we all shared!  Thank you for arranging it all on our behalf.  I was also hoping to share with you how fortunate I felt to have Nancy as a guide...Nancy was so positive, outgoing, friendly, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable about anything and everything regarding Costa Rica!
