ARENAL VOLCANO HIKE TOUR
Enjoy the fiery glory of Arenal Volcano.

Before the hill suddenly exploded in 1968, a lavish canopy of vegetation covered the Arenal Volcano. People who climbed Arenal' s summit related that inside the crater there were big trees and at night they slept in places where there was some heat due to small steam outlets. Currently, the green area is located on the east side of the mountain, and other little green parts can be seen on the north and the south of the volcano.

Today, however, it's a different story. This tour will take you through the green areas on a hike along the base of this extraordinary “Mountain of Fire.” You'll begin hiking on the active side of the volcano, through the forest to areas where some recent lava flows destroyed the forest. The woods are now in the process of regeneration.
We offer two different hikes. You can take a 3.5 hour trail that reaches as close as 500 meters from the lava flows; or, you can take a 1.5 hour trail that will bring you about a kilometer from the volcano.
Either way, you're guaranteed a great view of the volcano and a memorable hike.
