Before the active period of 1968, a lavish canopy of vegetation covered the Arenal Volcano. People that climbed Arenal’ s summit related that inside the crater there were big trees and at night, they slept in places where there was some heat due to small steam outlets. Nowadays the green area is located at the east side of the Mountain, and other little green parts can be seen on the north and the south of the volcano.
Enjoy the most extraordinary view of the Arenal Volcano on a gentle hike along the base of this marvelous “ Mountain of Fire”. The hike begins on the south west side of the volcano, at Los Tucanes Trail. This trail will take us through the forest over recent lava flows and the area that was destroyed in 1968, which is now in the process of regeneration. We are going to be on this trail for about 2 ½ hours.
