Canopy, Volcano Hike, Lunch & Hot Springs
A full Arenal day, start to finish
Overview
One departure, three landscapes. The morning is the waterfall canopy circuit; midday is a guided hike across the 1968 lava flow on the western flank of Arenal Volcano, where the ground is still black rock and the forest is only decades old; and the day ends in hot springs fed by the volcano itself. Lunch is a proper casado - rice, beans, plantain, salad and a protein - eaten between the hike and the springs. It is a long day but the sequence is deliberately front-loaded, so by the time you are tired you are sitting in hot water.
