A Romantic Eco-Getaway
8 Day Costa Rica Itinerary
We had an amazing time on all of our tours! Our guide was all business and showed us some amazing animals! Arenal and Drake Bay were both so beautiful, it was worth the effort to get there!
The eco-getaway we’ve been waiting for!
This was our first time visiting Costa Rica, and my partner and I wanted to combine some tours and adventures with downtime by the beach! Tracy was our trip designer and she put together a great plan that took us from the forests of Arenal to the laid-back beaches of Drake Bay.
Our favorite part of the vacation…
In Arenal, we had an epic day with the 4-in-1 tour — we did the hanging bridges, a trail to La Fortuna waterfall, a guided tour at Arenal National Park, and hot springs at Eco Termales. Our guide Carlos was upbeat and positive late into the night. He even drove us back to the hotel in his car so that we wouldn't have to stop at all the other hotels. We loved that Carlos knew Tracy! That was great!
We would definitely recommend this place...
Chachagua Rainforest Resort is a wonderful place to stay! We loved our bungalow! The staff moved us to one away from the few other guests staying. At night the sounds of the forest were incredible! We hated to leave.
