    Full description

    On this nature adventure, you will see all the stunning beauty of the Arenal area. Right at the foot of the Arenal volcano, make your way into a beautiful park.

    Enjoy the most impressive primary rainforest where you can admire the huge trees and complex ecosystem that surrounds them. Leaving the forest, get to the lava fields.

    Here, follow a trail through the enormous black lava rocks that were deposited there by the massive 1968 eruption. The reward is definitely worth the effort.

    With the impressive Arenal looming over you, you really get an idea of the immensity of this now silent giant and the violent force with which it erupted.

    All along the way, your bilingual guide will tell you about the history, the ecosystem, and the wildlife you may encounter. After a coffee break, go on the way to get some well-deserved relaxation.

    End the tour at a small hot spring resort, here you can soak in the soothing hot water while enjoying a complimentary cocktail.

    Our guide Uriel was wonderful. This tour was a great opportunity to see so much in one day. We saw the volcano from the observatory and walked to a waterfall. We would’ve swam in it but the waters were too rough after the rain. We were able to take fantastic photos in front of it though. We walked over hanging bridges and relaxed in the hot springs at the end of our long hike. Uriel shared so many interesting facts and history during the tour. It was very enjoyable overall.

    What a day of adventure! Our gudie Christian made all the difference in the world. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, funny but most of all he made sure that we seen and heard as many animals as we could. Stopping and taking time to explain what we were looking at or showing us pictures on his phone. He helped everyone get good pictures. At the coffee and bread stop he made sure we were all taken care of. Same at the hot springs him and the deiver were fun and made sure we wnjoyes ourselves.
