Following lunch, we will visit Tabac n Hot Springs, located at the base of Arenal. Steaming waters from the R o Tabac n form waterfalls and natural therapeutic pools that we can soak and relax in. The hot springs found here are surrounded by brilliant vegetation, while Arenal serves as a stunning backdrop. After the sun sets, we will, with some luck, observe the activity of Arenal. On a clear night, one can see bursts of fire and red-hot molten lava shooting hundreds of feet into the sky, whereas during the day only smoke and the volcano's roar are apparent.
Explosions typically occur every couple of hours.
Following our evening observations of Arenal, we will overnight at Los Lagos Lodge near Lake Arenal. Following breakfast today, we will spend the morning hiking on the hardened lava flows that make up Arenal s lower slopes. This is quite safe, as we will observe the remains of the volcano s more active past. Following lunch, our group will take a brief look at Lake Arenal. It is also well known for its windsurfing and freshwater fishing.
