Once considered dormant, the Arenal volcano proved everyone wrong in 1968 when it suddenly erupted. Since then, the region has become one of Costa Rica’s hottest attractions. From its perfectly formed cone-shape to its majestic forests and waterways, the Arenal Volcano is considered one of the world’s most stunning volcanoes, dormant or active. Formed more than 7,000 years ago, the volcano still towers above the lush countryside at 5,437 feet.
The nearby man-made Lake Arenal offers stunning views of the Arenal Volcano. The town of Nuevo Arenal was created along the lush northeast shore of Lake Arenal to house some of the region’s local inhabitants.
Soothing hot springs pepper the landscape, warmed by the geothermal activities of the volcano. Other indigenous creatures, such as monkeys, sloths and parrots, continue to find their own homes amid the myriad forests and waterfalls of the sublime Arenal region.
