Arenal Volcano Eruption Journal - May 2nd, Linda Vista del Norte

The Arenal Volcano was steadily active this evening, and a bright moon helped to create an impressive silhouette during the fiery show. The photos did, however, turn out a bit blurry due to the light from a nearby restaurant. We’re hoping that the visibility of Arenal does not lessen in future years as light pollution creeps in from development projects. As with all things, only time will tell.

There are a number of excursions in Arenal that allow for close viewing of the Arenal volcano. These include hikes through the Arenal Volcano National Park and the 4-in-one Arenal excursion, which includes a trip to the waterfall, a volcano hike, and a visit to one of the area’s hot springs.

Senior Couple Nature Explorer

We had a wonderful trip. All arrangements were handled promptly and on time. With howler monkeys outside our windows and being able to walk right onto the beach, it doesn’t get better than this.
