Residing in the eclectic province of Alajuela, the Arenal Volcano, often also referred to as "Volcan Cost Rica" or "Guatusos Peak", is an active stratovolcano that encapsulates the unstoppable vigour of Planet Earth. Young in geological terms and yet steeped with history, this towering natural wonder draws visitors from around the world. The volcano, standing at a striking height of 1,633 meters, bears the scars of past eruptions, with the notable 1968 eruption still vivid in the region's memory.

What was once a quiet, dormant giant suddenly awoke back in 1968, causing major destruction, yet miraculously sparing the town of La Fortuna unscathed. Despite its potential dangers, the volcano has become a distinctive feature of Costa Rica's diverse topography, and a focal point for tourists who are keen to appreciate its raw beauty.

When to visit Arenal

Choosing the ideal time for an expedition to Arenal depends heavily on your planned activities. The dry season, running from December to April, is a splendid time for leisurely exploration.

For families especially, the season offers endless possibilities for bonding over shared adventures.

A must-visit in any season, however, is the Arenal Volcano National Park.
