7 nights total

Land in San José, shuttle to La Fortuna for Arenal Volcano hikes and hot springs (Tabacón is the splurge). Up to Monteverde for the cloud forest — hanging bridges at dawn, zip lines through the canopy, and resplendent quetzals if you're patient. End on the Pacific coast at Manuel Antonio, a national park where you'll see sloths, capuchins, and toucans on the same trail, then a beach afternoon. Family-friendly bones, but the wildlife density alone justifies the trip for adults too.

A day in La Fortuna / Arenal

Morning

On the trail by 7 am — the light on the peaks at that hour is worth setting the alarm.

Afternoon

Return via a less-travelled path; a packed lunch with a view is the only agenda.

Evening

Hot shower, a hearty local meal, and legs that have earned the rest.
