Diana choose Ann to help her plan the itinerary.  They choose Chachagua Rainforest Resort located 30 minutes from the base of the Arenal Volcano as their home base.  Desafio Tour Company was chosen for the daily adventure tours.  Diana says  “The most fun we had was the Sky Tram- Sky Trek tour which was riding up the mountain in a glass gondola and then zip lining back down using 12 different zip line routes.  All the family loved it!”

The second most fun was the Arenal Volcano Hike with The Springs Resort and Spa “Hot Springs.”  Diana said:  “This is a spectacular  gorgeous resort.  We spent six hours there.  We visited the animal rescue zoo where we saw  several species of monkey small as well as large and small jaguars.  We relaxed at the end of he day.”

Ending the trip we stopped at La Paz Waterfalls Gardens for the afternoon…”Unbelievable”  we all said.  So much to see in one area..waterfalls, tropical birds, butterflies, snakes, frogs, and  the spectacular architecture of the buildings- made from the native wood of Costa Rica.

We highly recommend Costa Rica for a family vacation and want to again thank Ann for her help which saved us some much time trying to do it ourselves on the internet.   Thanks again, Diana  Contact Ann     www.costaricalearn.com
