Arenal Volcano area
Without a doubt, the majestic Arenal Volcano (one of the most active volcanoes in the Western Hemisphere) constitutes the main attraction of Costa Rica’s northern region. It’s perfect conical shape and constant lava eruptions have impressed visitors from all over the world. Arenal Volcano also owes its reputation to the wide variety of activities it offers and the high number of interesting natural spots located a short distance from each other. The volcano is located in the northern part of Alajuela province (close to the Nicaraguan border) and is an area that possesses breathtaking and varied scenery. Refreshed by gentle tropical rains, this land stays green and humid almost all year round. The lowlands host gushing rivers, hot springs, lagoons, remote national parks and abundant wildlife.
Located in the same region, Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge protects a large variety of bird species, both migrating and resident. This is also home to a significant number of endangered mammals and reptile species, including crocodiles, turtles, monkeys and tapirs, among others. Its natural waterways and damp areas are unique in the country and provide the key ecosystem for all its wildlife.
