Following pickup from your hotel, you'll be privately transferred to El Silencio Private Reserve, found near the base of the Arenal Volcano, where you'll set out on a guided hike. Walking for approximately two-thirds of a mile (1 kilometer) along a volcanic stone path that is considered moderately challenging to traverse, you'll reach a viewpoint which is also the closest point to the volcano that is permitted for public access. From this vantage point, your private guide will provide you with information on the formation of the volcano, its periods of activity, as well as unpublished details of its violent eruption in 1968. You can also enjoy the excellent views of the Green Lagoon and Lake Arenal here, and soon after, begin your return along the same trail. For a change of scenery, you will then enter a regenerating forest and then into the primary rainforest located along the outskirts of the Arenal Volcano. With a little luck, this one-mile (1.6-kilometer) trail will provide you with the opportunity to see a wide variety of animals that inhabit the rainforest, like toucans, turkeys, orioles, peccaries, snakes, and monkeys. Later, a vehicle will be waiting to privately return you back to your hotel.
Enjoy a day at leisure beneath the (often clouded) gaze of Arenal Volcano. Whether you choose to relax at your hotel, hike through the lush trails of Arenal Volcano National Park, cross hanging bridges for incredible rainforest views, take a dip in one of the region's natural hot springs or explore the town of La Fortuna, you're sure to find "pura vida" today.
