wide rim into a gigantic boiling cauldron of steaming geysers.We continue to the Doka Coffee Estate for a tour of the planta-tion, where we learn how this famous product of Costa Rica isproduced. Following lunch at the estate, we continue to LaFortuna, a village ringed by mountains and inhabited byfriendly people whose shops may offer the perfect memento. Itsmost well-known “resident” is the Arenal Volcano. From ourhotel we can see its awe-inspiring cone first thing in the morn-ing and the last thing at night. This evening is free to enjoy therich natural wonders of the area… beautiful waterfalls, fragranttrails and the natural hot springs. (Breakfast and lunch)

From our observation point, we feel the ground trembleand see smoke that billows from the earth’s molten core rise tojoin the clouds. Upon returning to the hotel, relax in thesprings before enjoying the included dinner. With lovely viewsof the resort’s hot springs, lush gardens and Arenal Volcano, thisis a tropical paradise.

species of birds (with migrants bringing the bird species tosome 270) that make it so amazing.
