Description
Arenal Volcano is Costa Rica’s most recent volcano, with eruptions starting around 400 years ago. The nearby village of La Fortuna was settled in the 1930s unaware of the volcanic risks. From 1968, a major eruption caused significant damage and casualties, with minor activity continuing until 2010.
Since the 1980s, La Fortuna has evolved into a key travel destination. Hiking trails now navigate unique lava fields, regenerating forests, and diverse landscapes. Various circuits accommodate different hiking distances and durations to suit visitor preferences.
