A must do adventure in La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Arenal Volcano offers an unforgettable hiking experience with stunning views of lush forests, abundant wildlife, and the iconic active volcano itself. Depending on the trail you choose and your fitness level, the hike can take between 2 to 3 hours—but it’s worth every step.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the magnificent Lake Arenal, a vast, shimmering body of water that adds a sense of peace and wonder to the journey. The trails are alive with the sounds of the rainforest and filled with a rich variety of flora and fauna, including toucans, howler monkeys, vibrant butterflies, and exotic tropical plants.
A highlight for many visitors is hearing the local guides recount the dramatic story of the great eruption of 1968, a historic event that reshaped the landscape and gave the volcano its current iconic form. You’ll even catch glimpses of steam rising from the summit—reminders that Arenal is still very much alive.
Be sure to bring plenty of water, comfortable shoes, and a camera to capture the breathtaking scenery and unforgettable moments along the way.
