Today is bittersweet, although we are happy to be going home, we will miss Costa Rica. We are thankful for all the memories made, and our wonderful tour guide Isabelle, she truly made our trip extra special. Until next time and how they say in Costa Rica, Pura Vida!

Day 6: Today is our final day in Costa Rica. We began our day riding an Ariel tram, and took in the views of Costa Rica one last time. Then arrived in San Jose, where we explored the city and took a quick swim in the hotel’s pool before heading to dinner. This dinner was extra special as we spent one last evening with our new friends. This was a folklore evening where dinner was followed by marimba music and entertainment by a local dance group. Some of us were even invited to join the fun on the dance floor!By the end of dinner we were having a fiesta!🎉 🇨🇷

Day 5: Today we traveled to Tirimbina Biological Reserve where we hiked across a suspension bridge to start. We learned new fears but conquered them together! Next, we learned about the process of making chocolate (tasting each step of course!) 🍫

Then we headed to The Best Pineapple Farm where we enjoyed a great lunch followed by a tour of the pineapple farm. 🍍

Tomorrow is our last day of exploring this beautiful country 🥺 Stop in tomorrow to see how we end this amazing trip!

Day: 4 Today was about challenging ourselves and building friendships along the way. We started our day by hiking the Arenal Volcano. The view from the top was beautiful. We stopped for lunch, then had some free time in La Fortuna where we did some shopping and enjoyed some ice cream. One of todays highlights was seeing a sloth!! Our last stop was Hotel del Bosque. I don’t know where they find the energy, but the kids enjoyed swimming, and playing soccer with their new friends! We ended the night with a bonfire.
Follow us to see what adventures Costa Rica brings tomorrow! ¡Pura Vida!

Day 3: This morning we started off with a tour of a local farm where we got to see more about the process of making coffee and chocolates. Then we engaged in some things that felt similar to home, like milking a cow and catching chickens! After that, we took a cooking class where we learned all about tortillas and empanadas.

Finished the day with a lunch with a gorgeous scenario of the Arenal Lake before heading to the hotel for the pool and dinner! On the way to the hotel, we even spotted monkeys! 🙈

Stay tuned for more activities tomorrow!
