The Arenal Volcano started it’s activity on July 1968 until the end of 2002, it constantly ejected gases, water, fumaroles and explosions with pyroclastic material emissions, and sometimes the eruptions were accompanied with powerful thunders.

The ash was carried by the wind over long distances especially to the northwest area of the volcano. The biggest and heaviest material fell close to the crater. The lava flows came out of the crater with a temperature up to 1 000 Centigrade. As the lava came down it slowly cooled off. A short hike in one of the trails close to the volcano area will give us the chance to enjoy some forest and the activity around it. At the Arenal Hot Springs you can enjoy a healthy and relaxing soak.

The Hot Springs Water’s origin is the marvelous “Mountain of Fire”, the Arenal Volcano. Into the Hot Springs Swimming Pools you can enjoy a healthy and relaxing soak in the thermal water of this volcano. A variety of pools of different temperatures may be just the place to view Arenal Volcano as it erupts. A delicious buffet dinner will close the night before return to the hotels.
