Volcanoes

Located to the north of the Central Valley and surrounded by a lush landscape of tropical rainforest and pastures, the Arenal Volcano dominates the region with its nearly perfect conical shape of a stratovolcano.

The tropical and lush vegetation that surrounds this giant, the warm waters that escape from it, the magnificent lake stretching at its base, and the traces of its recent significant activity make it one of the most spectacular sites in the country.

The volcano is the starting point for numerous excursions and activities:

Thermal Springs and Natural Pools: Nestled in the heart of exuberant nature but well-equipped, several establishments feature thermal facilities, natural pools, and waterfalls for a wonderful moment of relaxation.

Venado Caves: Explore the Costa Rican underground with the numerous stalactites and stalagmites of these caves.

National Park Trails: In the park, ancient lava paths form trails where you can see vegetation reclaiming the rock previously covered by lava.

Floating Tours: A floating trip on the Rio Toro or Rio Peñas Blancas allows you to discover the splendor of Costa Rican waters in an enchanting natural setting.

Canopy Tours: Nature lovers will delight in observing the forest from its canopy, using suspended bridges set in the heart of the primary forest.

Zip-lining: Another mode of exploration involves gliding above the forest and small volcanic lakes on cables.

Mountain Biking: For sports enthusiasts, the region offers various difficulty levels of mountain biking trails, allowing you to enjoy stunning landscapes near the lake and volcano.

Water Activities: Various activities such as fishing, windsurfing, and kite surfing are also possible on the splendid Arenal Lake.
