We begin the tour by heading to the El Silencio Private Reserve, to get as close to the base of the volcano as possible by vehicle. Next, we will walk approximately 1.5 kilometer along a volcanic stone path with a moderate degree of difficulty, until we reach the viewpoint, the closest point to volcano permitted to access. At the viewpoint, our guide will provide relevant information on the formation of the Arenal Volcano, its periods of activity, as well as unpublished details of its first eruption in 1968. You can also enjoy the excellent views of the Green Lagoon and Lake Arenal. On the guide’s indication, we will begin our descent back.

What to expect

Part of the trail around the Arenal Volcano features patches of regenerating forest that were originally affected by ancient eruptions. With a little luck, this 1.5 km (1 mi) trail will provide us with the opportunity to see a wide variety of plants and birds that inhabit the rainforest, like toucans, turkeys, orioles and sometimes peccaries and snakes. At the end of the tour our driver will be waiting for us with a delicious snack of tropical fruit before returning to your hotel in La Fortuna.
