After check in, enjoy the rest of the day and evening at leisure in Costa Rica's Central Valley.
Wake up this morning with a delicious Costa Rican breakfast and fresh coffee, then go deep into the history and culture of this ancient beverage on a tour of a coffee plantation. See how coffee was once transported on a traditional carreta!
Later in the afternoon, take an ecological walk along the paths of the hotel as you admire the flora and fauna.
Mid-morning you will transfer to the northern lowlands, passing through the towns of Zarcero, San Carlos, and Florencia. Depending on the season, you will see pineapple, banana and sugar cane crops on your drive.

Travel to your next destination on the central Pacific coast - the famous Manuel Antonio National Park. Pass through a scenic mountain road with various climates and elevations until reaching the town of Quepos.
