Arenal Volcano National Park

This perfectly cone shaped volcano raises 4.899 feet above the sea level. It has been active since 1968, when it made its largest eruption.  Its loud rumblings and frequent explosions of lava and ash during the day create a show that will stun you from miles away.   On the way to the Arenal, we will ride through the landscape of Lake Arenal.  Once there as option, we will have the opportunity to enjoy a hiking tour at the surroundings of the volcano, in an overview area called El Silencio (the silence).  Afterwards we will experience the mineral hot springs of the Tabacon Spa.   After nightfall, the glow of flowing lava can be seen from several points in the area (if it’s not cloudy).  During the tour it is possible to spot toucans, guans, oropendolas, monkeys and coatis.
