Join us on this guided trip to one of the most famous volcanoes in Central America. Leave your hotel at 2:30 pm in order to reach El Silencio Private Reserve at 3:00 pm. Drive to the point closest to the Arenal Volcano as permitted to travel by car. From there, we will begin a 1km walk along the trail of volcanic rocks, rated moderately difficult, to reach the observation point that is the as close to the base of the volcano as you can legally get.
At the observation point, your guide will provide interesting information regarding the volcano, its periods of activities and the details of its major eruption in 1968. Enjoy the opportunity to see the incredible views of the Arenal Volcano and Arenal Lake from the observation point. Start your downhill journey. Follow the same trail all the way to the starting point.
Head for the regenerating forest and a small patch of primary rainforest at the base of the Arenal Volcano during the next stage of your hike. This trail is about 1.5km in length and, with a little luck, you will have the opportunity to discover a large variety of flora and fauna, including toucans, wild turkeys, orioles, wild boars, snakes and monkeys.
After the three and a half hour trip is over, your driver will be waiting for you with a delicious snack of tropical fruits before returning you to your hotel in La Fortuna to enjoy the remainder of your stay.
