Tescha & Matthew

This thrilling four-wheel-drive journey will take us where breathtaking landscapes and traditional culture are just waiting to be discovered! We will experience the spectacular scenery, lives of rural Costa Ricans that have barely changed over the years, secluded soft silver-sand beaches, exotic flora and fauna and many quaint little villages. Sounds like honeymoon fun!

The Arenal Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Americas. From our observation point, we will feel the ground tremble and see the night sky explode with ash and lava in a natural display of fireworks. We will visit the hot springs of Arenal, where we will relax in the soothing waters and be caressed by the cool night air while observing the stars and the incredible night sky above the volcano. This is absolutely an evening we will not want to miss.

Costa Rica's bungee jumping hot spot is the "Viejo Puente Sobre el Rio Colorado" so why not give it a try? After all, we are in Costa Rica! We will revel in the excitement and thrill of flying through the sky as we bungee jump off of a 300 foot bridge! As we keep falling and falling, just as we did for each other, we know this will be one experience we will never forget!

This Canopy Tour will be an amazing, unforgettable experience! We'll fly through the tree tops of the Monteverde Could Forest on steel cables. We'll experience the various levels of the canopy as we glide and swing from tree to tree. Watch out Tarzan!

This gift will allow us to visit the oldest colonial city of the America's founded in 1524.

Our tour begins with a hiking trip through a tropical humid forest, passing bridges and spectacular scenery, to the Fortuna Waterfall with amazing swimming holes. After our honeymoon lunch at "Lava Rocks Restaurant" we will make our way to tour the Arenal Volcano. As we walk up the lava flows and watch the sunset we'll await the darkness to see and hear glowing rocks of lava tumbling down the side of the mountain, then it's time for a relaxing soak in the warmed mineral waters of Tabacon Resort and a romantic honeymoon dinner for two!

We will admire nature in all its glory as we float down the Corobici River on a rubber raft. Exotic sights of flora and fauna are common to this area: ospreys, herons, egrets and a variety of iguanas and monkeys. This river float will be an unforgettable adventure we won't forget.

On our way to our destination, we will travel through tropical forests near Rincon de la Vieja National Park, the Guanacaste Mountain Range, passing by small villages and cattle ranches. Arriving at the natural hot springs, we will get to try the therapeutic properties of the ever-so-famous mineral mud along with a nice soak in the warm waters marveling at the lush tropical scenery. If we are feeling adventurous we can be swinging through the trees like Tarzan and Jane to experience a world only the bird's eye sees!

Starting out from Uvita Beach, we will sail to Marina Ballena Island where we will discover an underwater world like no other as we snorkel among the magnificent corals, sea turtles, lobsters many brilliantly colored reef fish with high hopes in spotting fun-loving dolphins and swimming with them, and maybe even humpback whales!

We will experience a full explosion of excitement and thrill while rafting down the Pascua and Pacuare River, witnessing the natural beauty of Costa Rica's flora and fauna, along with our own guide instructing us how to manage ourselves with the strong currents of the river! Our happy honeymoon memories will be drenched!
