The trip in short
The tour nearly everyone takes, with time for all of it. The car stays at La Pavona and you sail to Tortuguero, among caimans and monkeys, and from July to October the turtles on the beach. Then Arenal volcano, the Monteverde cloud forest, the bays of Manuel Antonio and the Whale's Tail of Marino Ballena. Shorter? Look at Pura vida in 10 days.
