Discover the Arenal Volcano region

NatureCosta Rica

The perfect cone of the Arenal is one of the most iconic images of Costa Rica. This volcano was dormant for centuries before abruptly waking up on a sunny day in 1968, and has erupted several times since.

The scenery along its slopes is spectacular, alternating between lava fields and lush forests, and is home to an awe-inspiring variety of flora and fauna.

It's no surprise that hikers from the world over come to explore the trails of this beautiful region; a pure delight.
