We welcome tourists to the Arenal Volcano Park. It is so enjoyable to soak in the volcanic hot springs. Costa Rica is really a fairy-like country! There are more than 270 volcanoes here. The most famous one is the Arenal Volcano, which is located near La Fortuna, a well-known tourist destination in northern Costa Rica. It had a devastating eruption in 1968 and entered a long-term dormant state after 2010. It is now a national park for tourists to visit. On the way to the volcano, you can see many small ants moving in groups with mini leaves on their backs. Walking to the observation deck, the view here is very good. There is always a cloud of mist around the crater, and it is surrounded by cloud forests. There is a restaurant next to it, where you can have a drink and look at the volcano. The scenery here is too suitable for wide-angle, enjoy pure life pura vida! ❤️For more local fun in Costa Rica, please consult me!
Arenal Volcano National Park in Costa Rica is the most interesting natural landscape in Costa Rica. This volcano is very mysterious. For more than 200 days a year, the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, which makes it very mysterious. Moreover, it is the highest within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, which makes it very unique and sacred.
