Meet the Bare-Shanked Screech Owl (Megascops clarkii), a species found only in the highlands of Costa Rica and Panama.
Did you know the Bare-Shanked Screech Owl gets its name because its lower legs have absolutely no feathers? In the damp Costa Rican cloud forest, naked legs keep them from getting waterlogged while hunting at night.

Our hearts are full💚 We just received word that we’ve won the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award again.
When we started Arenal Rides, we wanted to offer more than just transportation—we wanted to create fun, and unforgettable memories for every traveler who trusts us with their vacation. Seeing your smiles, sharing laughs, and helping you experience the magic of Costa Rica is the real prize.
Thank you to our dedicated team and to every single traveler who took the time to write a review. We can’t wait to welcome you back to paradise.
Swapping the green dot for the green jungle is a total mood.

Nature’s palette is unmatched.
The Bay-headed Tanager is easily one of the most vibrant sights in Costa Rica. From its deep rusty head to that electric blue belly, it’s hard to believe these colors are real.
Fun fact: While many bird species rely on dull colors for camouflage—especially to stay hidden while nesting—the Bay-headed Tanager is monomorphic.
This means both the male and female “rock” the same electric green body and rich chestnut head. Typically, males are the only ones with bright feathers to attract mates and defend territory, but these birds break the mold. Both partners remain equally striking as they move through the canopy together.

Imagine landing, hopping into one of our vans with a fresh coconut, and arriving at this view🤩🌋
We get asked all the time: “Where should we stay to get the best volcano view?”
This hidden gem is easily one of our top picks in La Fortuna. We love coordinating stays here because we know our guests will have that “wow” moment the second they walk in—just like and .bhakoo did.
DM us “STAY” for all the details—we’re happy to help you coordinate the booking and transportation.

No noise, no rush. Just the rhythm of the ocean and the birds. This is the Costa Rica we get to call home 🤍
Save this for the next time you need a 10-second breath of fresh air.

We recently spent the morning hiking through Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal, and honestly, it’s a reminder that some spots just never get old.
Walking through the old lava flows is pretty epic. As the team behind Arenal Rides, we’re always out exploring so we can share the best-hidden spots with our travelers.
Tips for when you head out there:
Start Early: If you aren’t starting by 8:00 AM, you’re definitely going to feel the burn.
Don’t skip the Ceiba tree: We spent a good amount of time sitting by this 400-year-old giant. Standing next to something that’s seen that much history is the most grounding part of the whole hike 🌳
Wear real shoes: The Coladas de Lava trail is basically made of sharp, loose volcanic rock. We saw a few people sliding around in lifestyle sneakers—save yourself the trouble and wear something with actual grip🥾
