Arenal is perhaps the best known of Costa Rica’s 5 active volcanoes and over 200 dormant or extinct volcanic formations. Arenal is unique because it is the country’s only stratovolcano, which means it is conical and perfectly symmetrical. Aside from the stunning beauty of the volcano, the area is host to a wide variety of activities, from zip lining to hiking to whitewater rafting. And after a long busy day of activities, you can relax in the many natural hot springs in the area.
