Arenal Volcano Hike
Before the violent eruption of 1968, a lavish canopy of vegetation covered the Arenal Volcano. People that climbed Arenal's summit related that inside the crater were large trees. Camping overnight, they would sleep near the many small steam outlets, enjoying the warmth that they provided.
Nowadays, as the volcano is constantly erupting, the best way to view the volcano's lava is from a safe distance. Our tour begins with a hike at the National Park or Mirador El Silencio trails, depending on where the lava is flowing. While hiking, you will have the opportunity to observe a great variety of plants, wildlife, lava rock formations and the Arenal Lake. Expect to experience the volcano first by hearing its magnificent power and then seeing large avalanches of hot lava rocks rolling down its slopes.
During the tour, our experienced guides will provide interesting and educational information regarding the history of this mystical mountain and its surrounding areas.
