If you have never seen an active Volcano; Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica makes is it great for a spectacular first time.
Arenal Volcano Tours at La Fortuna of San Carlos, lays dormant until July 29 in 1968, when an earthquake shook the area, and 12 hours later Arenal blew. This 1633m Arenal Volcano rises majestically out of the lush pastures and forest on the eastern end of Arenal Lake.
Intermittent explosions draw people by day and night, although night is the best time to observe red-hot molten lava enveloping the top of the cone.
Even when overcast, the rumblings, venting and molten lava glowing through the clouds offers a very special experience.
Also enjoy the Arenal hot springs at Los Lagos where you also will have a privileged view of the volcano plus you will have the great opportunity to see our Croc farm, frog farm, butterfly garden and rain forest ants.
