"This national park is dedicated to one of Costa Rica’s most active volcanoes. The Arenal Volcano had a major eruption as recently as 1968 and until a few years ago it was still possible to see lava spew from the top! Today, the mountain just smokes from time to time. You also have a chance of seeing wildlife here, like howler monkeys, sloths, and even tarantulas. There is a visitor center, trails for exploring the rainforest, and cloud forests that surround the volcano and lava fields.The volcano is the main attraction of the national park, but don't miss experiencing the rest! For hiking with an epic view (weather permitting) don't miss the Arenal View and Lava Trail! The park is open 8 am to 4 pm every day and the cost of admission is $15 USD"

"Hiking and exploring the Arenal Volcano National Park. Between the months of February and April are the best months to visit this 26,692 Acre Park. Any other time it can be covered in a thick layer of fog, but still well worth a visit. "
