Arenal Volcano Hike & Hot Springs from Guanacaste – Itinerary
El Silencio Viewpoint Trail and other reserves along the border of the National Park are one of the most visited places in all of Central America. The trails in El Silencio and other nearby Arenal National Park Reserves are generally not very strenuous — perfect for a leisurely and informative hike with one of our professional nature guides.
You can use the facilities and read up on the history of the area before your guided walk. Then we’ll hike through well-groomed, easy trails that skirt the base of the Arenal Volcano. This part of the Arenal Volcano had sections that were devastated by the lava flow of 1968, so some areas have very little vegetation. Enjoy an extraordinary 1.5-hour rainforest natural history walk with a knowledgable guide. This guided walk of this trail provides perfect photo opportunities and magnificent views of the impressive Arenal Volcano, the pristine Lake Arenal and the extinct volcano Cerro Chato.
We have chosen the appropriate trail for better wildlife viewing. There are parts of each trail that has forested areas where your nature guide will try to spot birds, monkeys and other animals in their natural habitat.
Hot Springs & Lunch
The natural hot springs receive their water supply directly from pristine rainforest springs, and are natural looking hot tubs, strategically placed to receive the continuous flow of hot fresh water, full of healthy minerals, from the Arenal Volcano’s underground heat source to your body! Relax and have healthy fun every time you enjoy our natural hot springs during your Costa Rican vacation.
You’ll also enjoy a plentiful, Costa Rican-style lunch buffet with vegetarian and gluten free options available.
