About this activity

Side-by-side tours offer a thrilling way to explore diverse terrain and take in breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano.

Along the way, navigate mountain passes, cross rivers, and journey through lush jungles within vibrant rainforests.

First, you'll have a short practice session to get comfortable with the vehicle. Then, head to Alto de Monterrey, a famous viewpoint with spectacular views of La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano (on clear days).

Your guide will assess trail conditions and your ability. If possible, you'll visit the higher viewpoint; otherwise, you'll go to a lower, more accessible spot.

Both locations offer an amazing view!

After the trails, you'll reach the Arenal River. Cross the river, stop to rest and rehydrate, and if you wish, take a swim. Then, continue on to discover nearby towns and beautiful scenery.

This adventure blends exciting rides, incredible nature, and local culture—guaranteed to give you great memories of Arenal’s landscapes and the essence of Pura Vida!
