About
La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Rising dramatically above Costa Rica’s lush rainforest, Arenal Volcano is one of the most iconic landscapes in Central America. Inside Arenal Volcano National Park, travelers can hike through ancient lava fields, explore dense jungle trails, and spot wildlife along the way. With its perfectly shaped volcanic peak and surrounding tropical beauty, the park offers an unforgettable glimpse into Costa Rica’s powerful and vibrant natural world.
Best Time to Visit
December–April during Costa Rica’s dry season. Clearer skies improve volcano visibility and hiking conditions, while wildlife activity in the rainforest remains vibrant year-round.
Visit early in the morning for the clearest views of the volcano before clouds roll in later in the day — a common occurrence in the rainforest climate.
