Arenal Volcano National Park
The 12,016-hectare park lies within the 204,000-hectare Arenal Conservation Area, protecting eight of Costa Rica's 12 life zones as well as 16 reserves. The park has two volcanos, the inactive Chato and the active Arenal Volcano. The Arenal Volcano erupted for the first time this century on July 29, 1968 with a tremendous explosion. Having released pressure that had built up for more than 450 years, Arenal today continues to erupt but on a smaller and safer scale. Due to its continuous activity it is considered one of the world's most active volcanoes. Thunderous eruptions of gas, ash and lava fill visitors with awe! The volcano with its perfect imposing cone is surrounded with exuberant vegetation and sits at the side of the engineering masterpiece of Arenal Lake. Hiking is available on several maintained trails. The Coladas Trail leads to the 1990-93 lava flow which has left a 50ft deep semi-hardened flow through the rainforest.
