The main attraction here is the active Arenal Volcano which, depending on the weather, you could be lucky to watch the beauty of its almost daily eruptions at night. The area is spectacularly green with forests and a diverse population of wildlife. So hiking, canopy tours, horseback riding are some of the recommended activities. No Arenal visit is complete without a dip in the Tabacon Hot Springs, a network of natural hot pools surrounded by opulent natural beauty. Stay at least 2 nights. We have several customizable suggested itineraries that let you combine Arenal with other attractive regions of Costa Rica. You can adjust each of them according to your time, interest and budget. In the pricing process you will see our recommended properties. Our favorites are Arenal Kioro and Arenal Nayara hotel. |
