You’ll travel by minutes 25 minutes to the far west side of the Arenal Volcano to begin the tour in Arenal National Park. You’ll cross the river, and spend about 2 hours exploring the Park. Your expert bilingual naturalist guide will find the animals, point out indigenous rain forest plants, and educate you on a few.

Frequent sightings include: monkeys, wild boars, two types of toucans, White-Nosed Coatis Oro Pendulas, Golden Eyelash Vipers, Boa Constrictors, and Great Curassows.

Your reward at the end of this trail is the path created by the 1992 lava flows. You will have time to explore, and your guide will explain the history of this magnificent volcano. One of the day’s highlights is the spectacular hilltop view of the sunset over Arenal Lake.

After the hike, enjoy a beverage and listen to the extraordinary sounds of the volcano. And if the cloud cover is high enough, you’ll witness a dazzling display of falling lava rocks. You’ll hear the sounds of the rain forest, to the accompaniment of frogs, toucans, insects, and thousands of lightning bugs.
