After having lain dormant for over 400 years, Arenal Volcano erupted
violently on July 29, 1968, wreaking havoc on the local population and
creating a “lava-scape” for miles around its base.
At the Observatory Lodge, nature is bursting at the seams.
Tropical flora and fauna abound about the Arenal lodge, while the
majestic volcano and its fiery outbursts reflect off the mirror lake at
her feet – all this right outside your Arenal hotel room at the
Observatory Lodge.
Activities Arenal Observatory Lodge:
- Explore the lava flow trail and marvel at the active lava flows on the Arenal hotel’s night tours.
- Ride horseback over varied terrain with great natural beauty.
- Tour the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge wetlands.
- Canoe Cerro Chato Lake in the crater of an extinct volcano.
