| Come explore Costa Rica’s rainforests, and discover Central America’s hidden gem—Nicaragua. In Costa Rica, go whitewater rafting on the Pacuare River, or float on a rafting cruise on the Sarapiquí River. Walk with local researchers through one of the world’s most important centers for rainforest research. Hike along the base of the Arenal Volcano and relax in a thermal hot spring. Visit remote Rincón de la Vieja National Park, exploring the rainforest canopy from above on a zip-line tour, or spot the abundant wildlife on nature hikes. Cross the border into Nicaragua, Central America’s most interesting up and coming travel destination, known as the “land of lakes and volcanoes.” All who visit are struck not only by the grandeur of its nature and colonial cities, but by the genuine hospitality of its people. Enjoy colonial Granada, visit a pottery-making village, and cruise through Lake Nicaragua’s idyllic small islands, rich in flora and fauna. Explore an underground tunnel, and view bats departing en masse from their caves for nighttime feeding. Walk in magnificent nature reserves, searching for Nicaragua’s national bird, and colorful tree frogs. Finally, spend two relaxing days overlooking the beach in San Juan del Sur
