Day 2 & 3

Description: Arenal Volcano is the most active volcano in the western hemisphere and its presence dominates the northern town of La Fortuna. The farmland around is a deep green, primary and secondary forests blanket the midlands, and towering above it all is classically cone-shaped Arenal - smoking, rumbling, spewing car-sized boulders and spitting red-hot lava that lights up the night sky. Famous for its nighttime lava fireworks, Arenal Volcano towers above a lovely lake of the same name. The area has plenty of natural activities, eco-adventures, and the lake is particularly popular with fishermen and windsurfers. The thermal springs at the base of the mountain offer a refreshing dip any tome of the day. The Volcano itself rumbles frequently and, if not socked in by clouds, is very impressive and just a tad exciting.
