After lunch continue to Arenal. Dinner and overnight at the Arenal Observatory Lodge or similar.

From the Arenal Observatory Hotel, which is situated only 1.6 miles south of the volcano, visitors have an impressive view of this "giant which rumbles" and erupts with spectacular displays of vapor and lava.

The Arenal Observatory Lodge is the only lodge situated within the Arenal Volcano National Park, which encompasses thousands of acres of pristine rainforest and teems with tropical birds and wildlife.
