3-Day Arenal Getaway

"Let's go somewhere fun. I'd love to go fishing and do some cool adventure tours, but I'll leave it up to you." And with that simple request, I knew exactly where I'd be taking my little sister on her first visit to Costa Rica: Arenal. One of my all-time favorite vacation spots, it is the epicenter of adrenaline-pumping activities and hedonistic pleasures, all wrapped into one explosive destination. Less than three hours from my hometown of Atenas, Arenal is the ideal choice when you're short on time.
