The impressive Arenal Volcano is a natural wonder found in La Fortuna de San Carlos, Alajuela, offering thousands of tourists the opportunity to appreciate the columns of white smoke, ash and fumarolic activity emanating from the conical colossus. It is important to bear in mind that the volcano had remained asleep for at least 450 years, until on July 29, 1968, it experienced a great eruption, beginning a new period of pyroclastic activity which has been decreasing in the last years.

In Sarchì, it is very possible that you see a bullock cart that bears the title of being the largest in the world, which is made of wood (cedar) and decorated with surprising colors, like a bright orange color. The design is typical and complex, it has two levels of height and it took 70 days to complete, it also has an honorable mention in the guinness world record book.
The trip continues, crossing forest areas, as well as plantations of various agricultural products, including coffee plantations, pineapple, ornamental plants, cattle farms, until you reach the beautiful town of La Fortuna, to stop and enjoy a lunch in a Cozy restaurant with spectacular view of the Arenal Volcano.
After lunch, we visit a viewpoint that is closer to the base of the volcano, which in turn shows the view of Lake Arenal.
Eventually, the tourist will enjoy and relax in one of the best hot springs in the area, where you can enjoy the rejuvenating effects of them, as well as a massage (optional activity) or other special treatments that must be reserved in advance.
