Until fairly recently Arenal was Costa Rica’s most active volcano. Although it’s now in a resting phase and can no longer be seen spitting ash, smoke or lava, there is still a lot of geothermal activity in the area. For an unforgettable experience the formidable volcano can be viewed while relaxing in the soothing waters of one of the area’s many hot springs as night falls.
There are plenty of activities on offer around the area of Arenal, from hiking to canyoning and canopy tours to get a birds eye view of the forest. The surrounding countryside is perfect for breathtaking walks, cycles and horse riding.

Benoit Pigeon Discover Costa RicaThe guide was amazing, the food and hotel were really good. I was expecting to hike in the forest and mountains but it was more of a bird watching tour. So it was zero walking and lots and lots of bird watching standing still for long periods of time. It was not what i was looking for.
