AMERICAS
Volcano hot springs, cloud forest zip lines, Pacific wildlife.
The padavs
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
On the trail by 7 am — the light on the peaks at that hour is worth setting the alarm.
Return via a less-travelled path; a packed lunch with a view is the only agenda.
Hot shower, a hearty local meal, and legs that have earned the rest.
