DESCRIPTION:
Option #1: The
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 your way there,
you will ride through the heavenly landscape of Lake
Arenal, a man made lake that provides water for an hydroelectric
plant and for irrigation in the low lands of Guanacaste
province during the dry season.
As an option, you
will have the opportunity to enjoy a hiking tour at the
surroundings of the volcano, in an overview area called
El Silencio. After that, you will experience the mineral
hot springs.
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.
Option #2: Arenal Volcano
