This mighty active volcano is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. It is one of the very few in the world with an almost perfect cone shape and clouds commonly roll in at its peak. You will not want to miss this sight during your Guanacaste Viajes and tours.
The Arenal Volcano is surrounded by beautiful tropical forests perfect for hiking and watching the local wildlife.
Where is the Monteverde Cloud Forest located?
The Monteverde Cloud Forest is located in northwestern Costa Rica, on the Cordillera de Tilarán. It is called a cloud forest instead of the rainforest because of its altitude. The mountains intercept the northeast winds, which turn into clouds that go through the forest.
Visiting this cloud forest is one of the most magical Guanacaste Viajes and tours you can take. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is brimming with a marvelous diversity of wildlife.
What species of wildlife will I get to spot at the Monteverde Cloud Forest?

Where is the Río Celeste Waterfall located?

This is where Río Celeste gets its name from. You then need to hike along the river until you reach the Río Celeste Waterfall.
