Arenal Volcano

"The 5,357-foot volcano at the park’s center is Costa Rica’s most active volcano: during the day, smoke billows from the peak, while at night "you can see red lava pouring down the mountain’s sheer slopes." Its ongoing activity is the source of nearby thermal features and dramatic nighttime displays." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.
