Keep Day 1 to one mountain corridor, not all four saved attractions. Day 4 follows the Tortuguero departure, so choose a short La Fortuna activity. Day 5 connects Mistico, Río Celeste and a Bagaces overnight: choose one main outing. Day 9 lists El Tigre, Santa Elena and Selvatura; choose one substantial experience. Day 10 returns from Monteverde to San José; an early flight needs a different final-night plan.
