Step back in time and explore the Arenal Volcano's transformative power. Hike the Arenal 1968 Trail, named after the volcano’s, most significant eruption. Witness the stark contrast between the solidified lava flows – remnants of the volcano's fiery past – and the areas now undergoing regeneration. Our expert guide will share fascinating details about the volcano's history and ongoing activity. This 3 km hike offers unparalleled vistas of the majestic Arenal.
Next, we head to the La Fortuna Waterfall Reserve, where a majestic 210-foot waterfall awaits. Hike 1,640 feet downhill to reach the base of the falls and feel the invigorating spray. Take a refreshing dip in the natural pool formed by the La Fortuna River – a perfect reward for your trek.

We had an amazing time on this tour. It was our first tour on our trip, and it was a wonderful start. Our guide gave us so much interesting info as we hiked near the volcano. Let us rest for a while at the viewing point. Then we visited the waterfall. What a beautiful natural wonder! The day concluded with some tasty lunch. Perfect start to our adventures.
Guide was punctual, knowledgeable, and an excellent teacher. Martin is also just a really great guy whose company you will enjoy:)
