Arenal Volcano (day trip)

Arenal Volcano is one of Costa Rica's most active and iconic volcanoes, standing majestically at 5,479 feet with a near-perfect cone that dominates the northern landscape. The volcanic terrain offers spectacular hiking through cloud forests and lava fields, where you can witness the raw power of nature and spot wildlife like sloths, howler monkeys, and exotic birds. A day trip from San Jose takes you through lush rainforest scenery to experience both the dramatic geology and vibrant ecosystem surrounding this geothermal wonder.
