In Costa Rica the Arenal volcano is an extremely popular vacation destination to visit due to its natural beauty in part to the massive active volcano complete with lava flows and smoke and the nearby lake offering fantastic fishing and windsurfing.
The major attraction to Arenal is the natural hot spring resorts including Baldi Hot Springs and the world class Tabacon Hot Springs. At these fantastic natural springs you can enjoy soaking your tired body in the hot flowing water heated by the volcano while downing an ice cold beverage at one of the many swim up bars.
Afterward a relaxing soak finish off an amazing day by following up the hot springs with complete spa services including a full body massage and a fantastic dinner rounding out the evening. If you don’t plan on staying at one of the resorts like Tabacon Hot Springs or Baldi the nearby town of La Fortuna has everything you need including ample lodging, stores, and dining options in particular a great outdoor restaurant.
For an incredible night show you can hop in the car and drive a short distance down the road past La Fortuna for several kilometers then segue onto a dirt road to the backside of Arenal, you don’t have to worry about getting lost… just follow the other cars and tour busses headed to the same place. After a short ride down the dirt road you get to watch the amazing lava flows as they spurt, tumble and flow down the mountainside.
Pura Vida,
