Driving time:

2.5 hours (approx.)

 

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.

The Monteverde Cloud is a diverse biological wonderland that contains old-growth trees, favored habitat of the spectacular quetzal. But it is also home to 400 other kinds of birds, including 30 types of hummingbirds and such odd specimens as three-wetted bellbirds and bare-necked umbrella birds. Ground-dwelling residents include the powerful jaguar, the ocelot and the tapir, 2,500 species of plants - including 420kinds of orchids - and 1,200 amphibian and reptile species. Because there is so much to see, it´s best to have a guide who knows where to look for wildlife in the wild..
