The impressive Arenal Volcano is a natural wonder found in La Fortuna de San Carlos, Alajuela, offering thousands of tourists the opportunity to appreciate the columns of white smoke, ash, and fumarolic activity emanating from the conical colossus.

On the way to the Arenal Volcano, we will make a stop in the famous town of Sarchí, known as the cradle of Costa Rican artisans, where you will have the best opportunity to acquire souvenirs such as wood crafts, clothing, and souvenirs in general. The journey continues, through forested areas, as well as plantations of various agricultural products, including coffee, pineapple, ornamental plants, and cattle farms, until we reach the beautiful town of La Fortuna, to stop and enjoy a meal in a cozy restaurant with a spectacular view of the Arenal Volcano.

After lunch we will visit a scenic viewpoint that is closer to the base of the volcano where, in turn, the view of the Arenal Lagoon is appreciated.
