Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica

Arenal Volcano, one of the most famous destinations of Costa Rica, is known for its volcanic history and landscape as well as being a great destination for a relaxing holiday. Of course, the volcanic landscape is not barren than other destinations, but the geology of the Arenal Volcano has its own unparalleled natural beauty. To take in all that the Arenal Volcano has to offer, a tour by horse, hiking or car will give you the best opportunities to see what so many tourists miss on their holidays here.

Visit the Arenal Volcano National Park on your Costa Rica Holidays; it is one not to be missed. This park, which is still volcanically active, is a wondrous site. Almost reminiscent of the moon, it is a vast open area with volcanic mountains reaching toward the sky. Plumes of steam shoot forth from the ground in different areas. While this area is renowned for its scientific and geological importance, perhaps the area is most famous for being a great attraction of adventurers, families and honeymooners. Because of its rich volcanic soil, Arenal Volcano is a prime vegetables making area. All holidays in Costa Rica must include a trip to the Arenal Lake, La Fortuna Waterfalls, the Zip line tours, and the most recognized spot; The Hot Springs.

The cultural centre of La Fortuna is worth a visit. Walking tours of volcanic trails, natural gardens and endless-volcano view can keep you entertained for days. There are many attractions throughout the Volcano that will amuse and enlighten you. The Hot Springs: Imaging yourself immerse into the thermal waters with a glass of wine and your lover next to you looking at the volcano

There are so many accommodation options for holidays in Arenal Volcano; Villas, hotels, resorts and private rentals are all available. A traveler can easily customize their holiday to be luxurious or simple. All accommodations offer superior service and all the finest in modern amenities. Create a romantic get-away for two or design an adventure for the entire family. All these options are available at this beautiful Arenal Volcano Destination

Two of my favorite places to stay:

Las Colinas Arenal Hotel. A well know family-run hotel located in the heart of La Fortuna town offers a beautiful volcano from it open-air terrace. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortables. What I like most is the way they make you feel as part of their family.
