|  Arenal
Volcano is one of 7 active volcanoes in Costa Rica. Additionally
Arenal Volcano is considered to be one of the 10 most active volcanoes
found anywhere in the world.
For hundreds of years Arenal
Volcano lie dormant. This changed in 1968 when an earthquake triggered
a major eruption that wiped out the town of Arenal and killed
87 people.
Today the volcano has minor
eruptions every 5-10 minutes which is an amazing site to see.
During the day you mainly see clouds of steam bellowing out of
the top of the volcano. During the night however when everything
is dark, you can see red hot lava and lava boulders streaming
out of the crater. There are many vantage points surrounding the
volcano where you can relax and watch one of the most incredible
sites you are likely to ever see in your lifetime.
You even have a great place
to watch the Arenal Volcano from our Spanish language school in
La Fortuna!

Spanish language school to find out about the various tours in
