The Tour Costa Rica operator offers pre-planned and packaged escorted tours; however, travelers who have special itinerary goals may create their own trips. Tour Costa Rica will provide a guide and make arrangements. The company offers trips that cater to families, ecotourists, honeymooners, beach lovers and adventure lovers. One of the company's most popular tours is the three day, two night Arenal Volcano National Park and Hot Springs escorted tour, which begins in La Fortuna de Arenal, where travelers ride a horse through the forest to the site of the 230-foot La Fortuna Waterfall. The next day, guests visit the Arenal Hanging Bridges and Arenal Volcano, watching for an active eruption of molten lava and ash. The day ends with a relaxation at the Ecotermales del Bosque Hot Springs. Adventure lovers then get to choose the next day's activity, canyon rappelling or mountain biking.
