The northern region’s most impressive landmark is the classic conical Arenal Volcano, towering over the eastern shore of Lake Arenal.  Costa Rica’s most active volcano rumbles regularly and bursts occasionally firing rocks high into the air.

The Arenal Volcano initiated its activity in Julio of 1968, since then, the water steam, gas discharges and explosion with emission of volcanic materials are constant.  In some occasions, the explosions are accompanied by strong rumblings. The ash is carried by the wind and transported long distances, specially towards the areas located to the northwest of the volcano. The greatest and heavy materials fall near the crater. The lava flows constantly are emitted to temperatures superior to the 1000 degrees Celsius, in agreement descend are losing heat. During the nights, the Arenal Volcano delights the visitors and the villagers with its spectacular emissions, that seem more fireworks. The Mountain of Fire, as also it is known, is a spectacle for the people of all the parts of the world, without age distinction.
