Arenal Volcano Hike

Walk where the lava flowed

In 1968 the Arenal Volcano roared back to life, reshaping the landscape around La Fortuna. On this guided ~2-hour hike you'll walk trails cut through those very lava fields, watching the rainforest slowly reclaim the rock — with the volcano's near-perfect cone above you and views over Lake Arenal in the distance.

Your naturalist guide brings it all to life: the eruption's history, how volcanic soil feeds this explosion of biodiversity, and the plants and animals moving back into the regeneration zones.
