The flawless silhouette of Arenal Volcano, its loud rumblings and frequent explosions of lava and ash are a sight not to be missed by any visitor. This colossal wonder of nature rises 5,356 feet (1,633 meters) above sea level.
Many hotels and resorts are located at the foot of its near perfect cone and at night, depending on the weather conditions, you might be able to see the melten lava flow down the slopes from your bedroom window.
