Arenal Volcano Costa Rica

The Arenal Volcano 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.

If you have never seen an active Volcano; Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica makes for a spectacular first.

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 where you also may view the Arenal Volcano.

This is one the most active volcanoes in the Americas…actually, it is active 24 hours per day! If you have never seen an active volcano, this tour is definitely for you! The volcano soars 1,635 meters high and is bordered by dense rain forest and natural hot springs.

On the way, you will enjoy gorgeous views of the cloud forest, waterfalls, pastoral scenery and typical Costa Rican towns.

The last big explosion was in July of 1968! On a clear night after 6:00 pm, you can observe red-hot molten lava and rock projectiles the size of small cars, ejecting from the top of the cone. If that doesn’t grab your attention, then perhaps the thunderous roars will.

At the base of the volcano you will find a number of natural hot springs, while taking advantage of the beautiful resort grounds, where you can enjoy one of the most relaxing experiences of your life. The volcano rests near the town of La Fortuna where you will find several restaurants, boutique stores and souvenir shops.
