Before the active period of 1968, a lavish canopy of vegetation covered the Arenal Volcano.
People that climbed Arenal’ s summit related that inside the crater there were big trees and at night, they slept in places where there was some heat due to small steam outlets.

Right now the green area is located at the east side of the Mountain, and other little green parts can be seen on the north and the south of the volcano.

Enjoy the most extraordinary view of the Arenal Volcano on a gentle Hike along the base of this marvellous “Mountain of Fire”.
The Hike begins on the active side of the volcano, that takes you through the forest over recent lava flows and to the destroyed area now in the process of regeneration.

This  Hike of 2½ hours long the trail gets as close as five hundred meters from the lava flows, all this in the National park of Arenal Volcano.
