TOUR DESCRIPTION: Rating:
Easy.
Located 3 hours from San Jose, Arenal is a beautiful cone-shaped
volcano rising out of flat, surrounding plains. It is the
most active volcano in the country. In the daytime, clouds
of ash and smoke frequently billow into the sky. On clear
nights, spectators are occasionally treated to eruptions
of lava and burning rocks that explode into the air and
shower down the cinder cone. Even when it is overcast, the
rumblings venting and molten lava glowing through the clouds
afford a very special experience.
Leaving San Jose in the mornig, we'll be arriving to the
Arenal area in the middle afternoon. There, you will have
the opportunity to learn more about the culture of the surroundings
and its relationship with the volcano. Next, we will visit
the Tabacon Hot Springs, where
you can relax in the soothing waters and be caressed by
the cool night air while observing the stars and the incredible
night sky above the volcano. After all this, a great buffet
dinner will be served at Tabacon.
The tour includes a visit to the picturesque town of Sarchi, where you will be able to buy beautiful souvenirs. |
