Arenal Volcano
Arenal is a tall, cone-shaped volcano that rises above green forests and a big blue lake in northern Costa Rica. For many years it puffed smoke and glowed at night, and today it rests quietly while people explore all around it.
It is one of the most famous sights in Costa Rica because of its perfect shape and the steamy hot springs at its feet. Families love soaking in the warm pools while looking up at the mighty mountain.
Hot Springs
Warm rivers and pools are heated deep underground by the volcano, so you can float in cozy water even on a cool evening.
Rainforest Trails
Gentle paths of hardened lava wind through the forest where you might spot toucans, coatis, and colorful frogs.
Arenal Lake
The wide blue lake below the volcano is great for kayaking and paddleboarding, with steady breezes and pretty views.
