Costa Rica’s ominous Arenal volcano is
dangerous and has proved that since 1968, when it erupted killing 88 persons in
nearby villages. Since then the
government put an ongoing ban on anyone climbing the 5,479 ft. peak. Yet, the volcano and its surrounding national
park is one of Costa Rica’s leading tourism attractions for its beauty and for
the many hot springs and adventures that beckon.
The excellent Tico
Times, English language online newspaper recently pointed out the volcano
gave the region its name and the tourism infrastructure developed there is
second to none in the country, and many ways the world. “Even after it stopped erupting in 2010, the
nearly perfect cone of Arenal remains an awe-inspiring sight visible from all
over the region,” reports Karl Kahler of the Tico Times.
Mr. Kahler has penned two articles on the Arenal region
(click the links below). One provides
background on the volcano and the other is an fun spilling recap of a recent visit
by the author and his group, who were totally enjoying many of the recreational
activities around this very cool volcano:
