Exploring Costa Rica with Adventures by Disney: Part 2

As much as I love nature and wildlife, the second half of my Adventures by Disney trip to Costa Rica appealed to another side of me – the thrill-seeking side! After a couple of amazing days in Tortuguero, we moved to the region near the Arenal volcano, one of the more active volcanoes in the world.

Our first “thrill” was this incredible view of the Arenal volcano from our hotel room.

The thrills kept coming as we moved on to a zipline experience high above the Arenal Rainforest.

As a seasoned traveler, I’ve experienced a variety of zipline courses but the course in Arenal featured some of the highest, longest and fastest zips I’ve ever enjoyed. What impressed me the most (besides the incredible views) was the way the staff on the zipline course interacted with our junior adventurers – very pleasant and accommodating.

Just when you thought the day couldn’t get any better, it did, with a visit to the Hidalgo Hot Springs. This collection of thermal-heated pools provided the perfect respite after an action-packed day.

The next day we headed off for white water rafting down the Rio Sarapiqui. The river cuts through the La Paz Rainforest and features Class II-III rapids. Our raft captain, Maurico, was an absolute delight – he not only kept us laughing the whole way down the river, but he had an eagle-eye and helped us find an abundance of wildlife.
