Costa Rica's number one tourist attraction. Directly beneath Arenal Volcano*. Dozens of manicured pools filled with hot water from the volcanic river. A wonderful place to spend an evening, when the lava flow from the volcano is possibly visible.

The Venado Caves Caves have 8 separate rooms with different rock formations including stalactites and stalagmites. You will be totally agape when you see a small waterfall flow from the center of the caves providing a most unique sight, as you walk down the middle of the stream.

An adrenaline-packed two hours. First spend forty-five minutes on horseback getting to the hillside with the tree platforms. Put on climbing harnesses, and climb stairs to the first platform. Hook onto the pulley on the steel cable, and GO! For thirty seconds you are zipping along the cable, arriving at the next platform breathless. The guide then moves your pulley connector to the next cable, and you once again zip for 30 seconds to the next platform. Seven platforms later, you rappel down to the earth and get back in the saddle.

Get on a raft to drift down the Peñas Blancas river, a smaller tributary of the San Carlos. The banks of the Peñas Blancas provide shelter for many water birds and other wildlife.
