Accessed via La Fortuna town, the Arenal National Park is shadowed by Costa Rica’s most famous volcano, Arenal. The area offers a wealth of outdoor activities such as rafting, hiking, zip-lining and horse-riding opportunities, and is home to natural attractions including hot springs, biodiverse forest and Arenal’s smaller sibling, Cerro Chato. The national park hosts lava flow trails carved from the volcanoes previous eruptions as well as the scenic Lake Arenal and varied flora and fauna including birdlife, primates and deer. Its remote location and lack of accommodation within the protected zones mean that exploring the area can still feel wonderfully remote, whilst being one of Costa Rica’s top tourist destinations.
Best experiences
Enjoy a rural farm tour and lunch
Visit a local agro-ecological farm just outside of Arenal town to learn about sustainable agriculture and traditional sugar processing. Later, sit down to a traditional Costa Rican lunch made with produce from the organic garden.
Hike up the Cerro Chato Volcano
One of our favourite hikes up the slopes of the dormant Chato Volcano located next to the Arenal Volcano. Great nature and a volcanic crater lake in the summit make this a way to escape crowds and explore the national park.
Walk the Mistico hanging bridges
Inside a 618-acre nature reserve are 15 bridges from 5 to 100 meters long, hangin high up in the canopy. This is a fun and thrilling way to experience the rainforest and enjoy volcano views accompanied by our naturalist guide.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
