 Tour of The Arenal Volcano 
3 days/2 nights

Arenal Volcano is one of the most scenic volcanoes in Costa Rica. It has the shape of an almost perfect cone, and can be seen from very far away, although not every tourist has the luck of observing its top, since clouds appear and disappear constantly, sometimes in a matter of seconds.

It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world: it makes a small eruption approximately every 45 minutes. Sometimes the sound of the eruption can be confused with thunder, depending on the distance to the volcano. Between the XIII and XIV Century its activity ceased, but erupted in 1968.

During the night, if the clouds do not obstruct the view, the flow of lava can be seen and photographed.
