Arenal Volcano National Park
Description:
The majestic Arenal - the most famous of the Costa Rica volcanoes - is located about 90 km northwest of San Jose, the country's capital.
In the summer of 1968, an earthquake occurred in the Arenal area, after which the volcano began to erupt. Since then, Arenal has been more or less active, for example, from July 2008 to September 2010, lava and pyroclastic flows were released.
The height of the summit of the volcano is 1670 m, and in shape it corresponds to an almost perfect cone. By geological standards, Arenal is quite young, it is only about 7 thousand years old.
Near the Arenal is a beautiful lake with the same name. It was once small, but after the construction of the dam significantly increased, becoming the largest in Costa Rica.
The surroundings of the volcano are extremely rich in flora and fauna. Arenal National Park is formed here, visitors can see 8 of the 12 biological zones of the country.
Arenal is the most popular resort, where, in addition to the spectacular views, various types of recreation and sports are offered.
