Costa Rica Holidays: Arenal Volcano + La Fortuna Waterfall Tours + Sloths + Hot Springs

The stunning Arenal Volcano, located in the north of the country, is one of the most famous landmarks on Costa Rica holidays. Its slopes are covered in cloud forest and Arenal National Park forms part of a larger conservation area that protects 16 reserves. Arenal Volcano has an almost perfect cone shape and its peak can be shrouded in cloud, especially in the dry season, but on a clear day it’s a stunning sight. Until a few years ago it was Costa Rica’s most active volcano, emitting a constant trickle of red-hot lava and billowing out ash, but it stopped erupting in 2010.
 
Today the lush cloud forests around Arenal Volcano offer a huge range of outdoor activities to suit all ages and fitness levels, including viewing sloths, colourful tropical birds and other wildlife from incredible hanging bridges that are suspended through the forest canopy, walking and hiking trails around the volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall tours and horse riding. You can ascent to the top of the volcano on the Sky Tram and descend on an 8-stage zipline, with spectacular views over Lake Arenal below. Nearby you can also go white water rafting.
 
The area around Arenal Volcano is also renowned for its thermal hot springs and some of the hotels that cluster around La Fortuna, the main town, have their own private springs. This is a wonderful way to relax after a day of outdoor activity on Costa Rica holidays.
