The Arenal Volcano National Park is an iconic place to visit!
The Arenal Volcano National Park is an iconic place to visit! You will experience what is like to hike around the base of the volcano and encounter all the different landscapes while ascending. The guide will tell you all about the nature and rainforest that formed after the eruptions, the richness of the soil and all the life and home it carries for many species of flora and fauna. You will not ascend all the way to the top, it is not allowed, besides it's really strenuous and dangerous but you will get as close from the formed lava trails as possible and hear all the history of the eruptions, you will learn how the volcano works and how is important to our lives, of course always being in company of nature and with the most incredible views; the guide will point out to some interesting animals that you will see along the path that live in the volcano area.

You will visit La Fortuna Waterfall and will be able to swim in its fresh waters coming from the mountains and get that fresh air that you need so much, right in the middle of a canyon in the rainforest! . It starts with a 20 minute walk down 500 stairs where you will be immersed in nature, take your time, it is a paceful walk. Once there get on your swimming suit and swim in the natural pool, stand by the rocks and see the beautiful nature! Upstairs there are the main facilities with bathrooms and changing rooms and an observatory to take pictures from above or in case you don't want to go all the way down you can stay there and wait for the group to get back (this also apply to a person that has a mobility, back or knee problem). Look up and see how tall the fall is and the magic that feels like when you are one with nature!
