Arenal, Costa Rica


Back from a family vacation in Costa Rica.  Our first destination was the area of Arenal, with its prominent active volcano. We stayed at the Arenal Observatory Lodge, who's grounds and rooms offer breathtaking views of the nearly perfectly shaped cinder cone volcano. The grounds also have a vast network of well maintained hiking trails through lush vegetation, farmland, hanging bridges, streams and waterfalls. There is also a museum about the volcano on-site that houses a seismograph that you can monitor some of the many small eruptions that occasionally occur throughout the day.
