Favorite thing: You may be doing a lot of your travel research online for your Costa Rica trip and feel it necessary to book activities (white water rafting, trips to Arenal and the hot springs and etc.), jeep-boat-jeeps to Monteverde online. Trust me, there is a ton of availability for these activites and you can book when you get there. There is a lot of competition for tourist agencies, and if you barter when you get there you can save a good 10$ or more on an activity.

Favorite thing: If you drive along teh main road with the view of the volcano ....remember that on the other side (behind hotels) is an amazing forest and a great possibilty to see teh wildlife (especially for bird watchers)!!

Favorite thing: The Arenal National Park is the best way to explore Arenal and the Arenal environment. You can really spend hours walking around the trails. There is a lot to do. It is not very crowded, and the park is very large. It is rare to see huge groups of tourists, but you will have freedom and space to explore things at your own pace. I saw several people with binoculars: bird watching and looking at the volcano. There is a jungle area as well as some tranquil areas for just sitting by the lake. If you just sit and listen you can hear the rumbling from the volcano. It is a really nice place, and great for nature lovers, people who like history and the outdoors. It's an all around great trip!
Fondest memory: Sitting by the lake, with the volcano behind my, just listening to the rumbling of the volcano and looking at the birds fly by. At night make sure to look up at the rim of the volcano to see the bright red lava! You can still see the lava during the day, but not so vividly. During the day the lava doesn't appear red, but rather grayish and looks like smoke falling down the side of the volcano.
