​
Ode to Costa Rica
 
Through the clouds of coffee fields
to reach the rich rain forest
Nature so vibrant, alive and before us
We explored, we had fun,
and we soaked well and good
in the hot thermal waters
where Arenal stood
​
Even the clouds pushed away
so we could see the volcano that day
Driving up in the mountains
on roads windy and steep
we saw the Pacific Ocean
in the horizon far and deep
that night,
with a cool coconut drink in hand
They made a bonfire for us,
right on the sand
 
If you have not been here before,
These amazing Costa Rica vacations
is ready for you to explore

Situated in the northern lowlands of Costa Rica and about a 2-hour ride away, the impressive Arenal Volcano is a magnificent natural wonder that attracts thousands of tourists who come to see an active volcano which on clear days allows one to witness white plumes of smoke that emanate from this conical shaped behemoth.

You can choose to relax at one of the best hot springs in the area where you will revel in the cleansing and rejuvenating effects of the thermal waters or participate in amazing adventure activities such as hiking or zip-lining.
