Standing 1,657 meters tall, its near-perfect conical shape is unmistakable. Arenal erupted violently in 1968, drastically changing the landscape and destroying the town of Tabacón. This eruption marked the beginning of 42 years of continuous activity, making Arenal one of the world’s most active volcanoes during that time. The geothermal activity in the area has led to the formation of hot springs, and the surrounding rainforests are home to diverse wildlife, including sloths, birds, and monkeys. Today the volcano rests quietly over a lush, thriving ecosystem, where we had the opportunity to explore its magic.
