There's a fast way to plan Central Valley & Arenal, and there's a way that's actually worth doing.

This is a 5-day Central Valley & Arenal itinerary we mapped ourselves, paced properly instead of rushed, past everything the Arenal Volcano viewpoint crowd misses.

It's the kind of trip your group chat asks about for years, not the one that looks like everyone else's. It's completely free to download, so the only real risk is not opening it before your trip's already planned.
