Perfect Trekking Tour to Enjoy Your Costa Rica Vacation

There are two different options to start your perfect trek tour around the Arenal Volcano. You can either meet the guides at the Arenal National Park, or begin at the Mirador El Silencio. The route will vary depending on the activity of the volcano, and the direction of the lava flow as well as the weather. You will be able to use the easy to follow and mostly level paths, where you can get really close to the nature. The experienced guides would introduce you to the wildlife of the area, different geological formations and prepare you for the trekking tour. The hiking trails would lead you around the volcano from a safe distance, but you can still take some stunning and detailed images home from your Costa Rica vacation of the magnificent eruptions.

Wildlife and Lush Vegetation on Your Arenal Volcano Hike

You can not only see the nature, but find out more about the history of the Arenal Volcano ecosystem as well. The professionally trained bilingual naturalist guides would tell you all about the formation of the Hot Springs, volcano, rivers, waterfalls, rock faces and deep canyons. All the support will be provided to enjoy every minute of this day tour near the Arenal Volcano, visiting the waterfalls, seeing the volcano from different angles and reviewing the wildlife at the same time. The hiking trail takes around 45 minutes, and you will have multiple stops to learn about the natural features and animals. You can even climb up the rocks formed of dried lava from previous explosions, to look down at the lush vegetation and try to spot some unique animals below.

Incomparable Scenery - Vistas of the Volcano & Lake

The Hot Springs guides, who know the Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna trekking trails inside out, would show you the perfect viewpoints for observing the volcano at a safe diestance. The remainders of the lush vegetation before the eruption of the volcano in 1968 can be observed, as well as the signs of the nature claiming back the area. The different bird and lizard species would walk around the trails freely, and you can create fantastic photos or videos both of the animals and the incomparable scenery of the Arenal Volcano. You will be able to sit the closest possible to the erupting volcano and admire the power of the nature after your Costa Rica hike adventure. Round trip transportation is offered daily from the majority of the hotels near the Arenal Volcano.

A Relaxing Visit to The Hotsprings After Hiking

You can enjoy some of the most amazing sunsets from the viewpoints; however, there will be more to see. The natural park is full of wildlife, and many insects, birds and wild turkeys would come and greet you on your arrival. You might think that the area would be lifeless because of the volcano, but it is not the truth. Before or after the tour, you can experience the healing effects of the minerals delivered by the Arenal Volcano and soak into one of the 18 hot spring pools, at The Springs Resort and SPA.
