Arenal Volcano: Hike & Hot Springs Tour

The Arenal Volcano is considered one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It has been active since 1968 when it suddenly exploded, destroying all vegetation that covered the cone. Nowadays, trees and vegetation are starting to regenerate in some areas of the volcanoes base.

Volcano hot springs are the result of rainwater heated by magma in the earth's interior. Once heated, the waters rise to the surface, taking with them minerals found in the earth's rocky crust, causing the waters to be very beneficial to our bodies because of its temperature. It helps to relax muscles, clean pores and rejuvenate the skin.

Hiking and visiting the hot springs are 2 activities that can be combined into one. You can visit the National Park and walk through the lava paths while admiring the imposing perfect cone and then take a dip into the natural mineral hot springs that descend from the volcano. Or, you can enjoy these activities separately.

At the hot springs, you will find different warm pools filled with mineral water, surrounded by impressive well-manicured tropical gardens and wooden bridges over a hot water river that crosses the entire property.

Dinner will be served at an open restaurant where you can admire the red lava and gases that are constantly ejected from the crater of the volcano.
