The national park Arenal
has an expansion of 5,208 hectares and encloses the area around
the Arenal
lack and Arenal volcano . This as a protection zone too typical
national park accommodates an unbelievable huge number of different
animals and plants, under it many important kinds.
La Fortuna is the nearest place; it is often overcrowded in
the main season with tourists because of the active Arenal
volcano.

| |
 |
Especially at Christmas as well as Easter.
In this area there are a huge number of Cabins lodgings, very
clean and always with warm water and shower. Besides that
there are also hotels
well equipped as well as a lot of comfort .
You can find a huge number of restaurants and offices in which
you can book tours to the most popular destinations of the
excursion of the surroundings, |
| |
as for example a whole day tour to
the Cano Negro reserve (river journey), excursions in the Monteverde
national park, riding tours to the waterfall La Fortuna or to
the ‘Cerro Chato’, a gone out volcano, to the limestone
cave of Venado as well as to the hot springs of Tabacon. |
| |
You can take a horse tour down to the waterfall
La Fortuna, that will costs about 30 USD per person. You leave
La Fortuna on a little driven street and ride past Papaya plantations
up to a country lane which branches off to the waterfall. From
out there you still ride about one hour up to the cash small
house where you pay the entry at the rate of approx. 3.5 USD
per person. |
 |
| |
Then you go above an invested footpath
precipitously downhill in the gulch of the waterfall. you should
bring at all costs a steady footwear. The descent is rather
dangerous partly and nothing for "strollers". Become
you are recompensed for it of a breathtaking sight. Roaring
the water from big height falls in a washbasin in which you
can take a chill bath. |
| |
 |
If you leave La Fortuna in the direction of volcano
and Arenal lack, you come past a new disco with volcano look
to the hot springs of Tabacon. Here you find on the left side
a luxury arrangement with restaurant and hotel as well as a
tropical garden with several swimming pools, the water has a
temperature of about 40 degrees Celsius and is warmed up directly
by the volcano. |
| |
The entry amounts to about 39 USD
per person.
If you just want to have a bath, you simply go to the pool across
the street. This one has concreted the river run simply here
and there and has furnished dust corners with small waterfalls.
You also find there a nice garden, however, have no direct view
to the volcano.
For people with a lower budget a bath possibility exists a kilometer
farther in the river directly on the left below the street.
In the street edge parking vehicles you will point out to it.
We advise against this , because a lot of the people brought
garbage.
|
| |
In the Arenal
you can rent boats as well as wind surfing and fishing. The
fresh-caught fish from the lake is a true delicacy. it is
prepared in a small place directly in the lake which you reach
only on crossing some river runs by jeep.
