The Arenal Volcano region is an exquisite destination for its attractive landscape, its hot springs, and Lake Arenal. During the transfer, you will see agricultural plantations, ornamental plants and cattle farms.
DAY 2
Arenal Volcano
We are going to visit La Fortuna Waterfall; a view of the 70-meter-high waterfall and a 600 meters hike to the natural pool at the base. (Bring swim clothes, a towel, and special water shoes because of the rocky river bottom). Later on, drive to an organic production farm near La Fortuna for lunch.
At 3:00 p.m. tour continues to the Arenal National Park, in here the tour guide will talk about the natural and geological history of the volcano, cross a path of solid lava and enjoy an excellent view over the volcano and Lake Arenal.

In this same place, you will get to know the famous spot “La Mano del Arenal” so that you can capture in photography one of the most special moments of the tour.
The Sky Trek (Zip lines) consists of a series of 7 cables or zip lines located throughout the forest; in there you can see the beauty of the forest, Lake Arenal, and of course the impressive Arenal Volcano. In the Sky Trek, you will go through transverse cables with lengths ranging from 30 to 750 meters, located between 20 and 200 meters high, an experience that exceeds the tops of the largest trees on the mountain, giving you a panoramic view of the most magical places in the area.
