At 7:00 PM, the group will come together for our Welcome Dinner at the woman-owned restaurant on the hotel property. This first evening offers a delightful introduction to Costa Rica and a chance to meet your fellow travelers.
Day 2
Visit An Active Volcano
Start your incredible experience in Costa Rica with a stunning road trip through the country side into the mountains. You and your fellow travelers will be picked up after breakfast to drive through the mountains towards the tallest active volcano in Costa Rica at over 11,000 feet. Walk on top of the volcano and gaze down into multiple volcanic craters.
End the day in the serene jungle valley floor at our 4-star category hotel. Cheers to the evening with an optional mixology class* taught by an expert bartender.

Take an afternoon guided horseback riding tour* or enjoy a SUP paddle boarding class* before sunset.
End the day by rejoining the group for a traditional Costa Rican cooking class taught by an executive chef.

The History of Chocolate is Female!
