Itinerary

  1. Arenal Volcano is one of Costa Rica's most active and youngest volcanoes, with an altitude of 1,670 meters and has been a major tourist attraction since the 1960s. Arenal Volcano was dormant for approximately 400 years until its sudden eruption on July 29, 1968. This eruption destroyed the small town of Tabacón and triggered a series of volcanic activities that continued for decades.
