Arenal Volcano July 22, 2007 From The Observatory Lodge
With the Lava flowing on the West and South side of the Arenal Volcano the Observatory Lodge as well as other hotels in Castillo area have some of the best viewing angles. These photos were taken from the Observatory Lodge with a Nikon D80 camera, exposures times ranged between 1 and 3 minutes, no point and shoot cameras will suffice for night shots of the volcano.
Eruption Date: Fri Jul 06 2007 17:00:00 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
The Observatory Lodge has a large deck attached to its restaurant which is a wonderful location to enjoy the awesome views of the Arenal Volcano. The Observatory Lodge allows non guests to come and view the volcano for about $4 per person payable at the entrance gate.
Check out our Arenal Volcano Map for an update on the volcano’s current activity. It did, however, enter into a resting phase in 2010. At present, no eruptions are occurring.
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.
