Rate per person $49

Once surrounded by lush dense rain forest, Arenal Volcano erupted in 1968, with three craters burst open and covered the area in lava. Almost forty years later, the forest re-energized and is now a protected national park spanning over 26,000 hectares.

While hiking through Arenal Volcano National Park you can enjoy a great array of wildlife such as howler or white-faced capuchin monkeys, deer, tapirs and snakes, or birds like mot mots, parrots, orioles and brown magpies. There is a wide range of plants growing in the area including various species of palms and bromeliads (including the endemic specie Pitcaimia funkiae), bait, ceiba, cirri, laurel, higuerones, fungi, orchids, and ferns.

On a clear day you will have great views of the Arenal Volcano, Arenal lake and the neighboring 3500 year old extinct volcano Cerro Chato. This excursion is a great way of learning about the natural history of the area and enjoy some spectacular sights!
