Arenal Volcano Costa Rica
The Arenal Volcano is the only volcano in Costa Rica constantly active since it woke up after 400 years with the big 1968 eruption producing huge ash columns, explosions & glowing red lava almost every day. It is considered one of the ten most active volcanoes in the world. This country is about beaches, rainforest and the spectacular Arenal.

You can find some Arenal eruption photos, Map, Videos, Sounds, Arenal Costa Rica Hotels with the best views of the lava flow, info on how the Arenal Volcano works, Arenal Transportation, Lake Arenal, Monteverde Costa Rica Tours, etc.

There were no special effects in this picture, we just got lucky: the lightning struck while we were already taking the photo of the active lava flow.
