Overview
Arenal Volcano & Hot Springs Escape
Wake up in La Fortuna to the sounds of nature, knowing an incredible adventure is ahead! Start your day in La Fortuna at 10:20 a.m. and set off on a guided journey to the base of the majestic Arenal Volcano — one of Costa Rica’s most iconic landmarks.
Your hike begins along scenic rainforest trails rich in wildlife and history. Along the way, you’ll explore legendary lava fields from past eruptions in 1525, 1968, and 2010, while your expert guide shares stories about the volcano’s powerful past and the vibrant ecosystem that surrounds it.
The adventure includes:
✔️ A 2-hour hike to the volcano base with stunning panoramic views
✔️ A 1-hour descent to a hidden green lagoon, a peaceful volcanic formation nestled in nature
✔️ Insight into Arenal’s unique biodiversity and geological history
To end the experience on a high note, soak in the natural Tabacón River hot springs, locally known as El Choyin — a free, open-access paradise where warm volcanic waters flow through lush tropical surroundings. It’s the perfect way to relax and connect with nature after your hike.
