Arenal Volcano and Hot Springs

This tour leaves usually at 4:00 p.m. from the different hotels, but the hour can change depending where the people are lodged. The Arenal Volcano is active since 1968, it constantly ejects gases, water, fumaroles and explosions with pyroclastic material emissions, and sometimes the eruptions are accompanied with powerful thunders. The ash is carried by the wind over long distances especially to the northwest area of the volcano. The biggest and heaviest material falls close to the crater. The lava flows come out of the crater with a temperature of about 1 000 Centigrade. As the lava flows down it slowly cools off. At the hot springs our customers can enjoy a healthy and relaxing soak; it is also possible to see the Arenal Volcano erupting from a comfortable spa. With the improvement of the road from Quesada City to La Fortuna, the number of local and foreign visitors has increased. Today it is possible to find all kinds of tourist facilities and the friendliness of the people in La Fortuna.
