We had a day trip from Marriott Hacienda Belen to Arenal Volcano and Baldi Hot Springs. Luis and Mario were our guides. Excellent service and local insights made this tour absolutely wonderful! We booked the private tour through Enrique, who made the coordination with ease.
We started our day at 6:30am and ended by 5:30pm. Luis went out of his way to narrate the sights along the way, and Mario is a most excellent chauffeur.
We stopped along the way at a restaurant for breakfast that was delicious. Rice and beans along with a tortilla and cheese. Typical food, and oh so delicious.
It was raining today, yet our guides made the most of it. A soak in the hot springs while they patiently waited was most appreciated. During the ride back to the San Jose area we stopped at a roadside restaurant, flower garden and butterfly garden.
