Itinerary
The day will start a hike down the stepped path of high basaltic rock walls, taking about 15 minutes to reach the beautiful La Fortuna Waterfall, where you can swim or just take pictures and enjoy its beauty. Lunch is the next step, a delicious traditional meal will be waiting for you in our restaurant “La Finquita”, near downtown La Fortuna.
After lunch, you will have some time to rest or hang out in town, before we begin the Volcano hike. We will choose one of several trails through the tropical rainforest and cross the solidified lava trails from the massive 1968 eruption. We will observe a variety of plants, animals, and rock formations. At the top of the trail we will have an amazing view of Lake Arenal. Our hike will come to an end at a lookout point where, if weather permits, you will be able to see a little vapor of pyroclastic gases coming out of the fissures at the top of the volcano. Along the hike, your guide will share interesting information about the history of the majestic volcano and its impact on the region.
After the hiking, your body will need a rest and your energy will need restoring.
