Arenal Travel Guide

 setikeyvan Says:  The Tabacon Hot Spring is a must-do if you visit the Arenal area. If you don’t experience this, you are seriously missing out, so make sure you budget for it. The Hot Springs are part of the 5-Star Tabacon Resort. However, you don’t have to be a guest to use the hot springs.... 

 setikeyvan Says:  Wow! This sky trek adventure is one I will never forget. It was so liberating and refreshing to zip line hundreds of feet above a lush rainforest, going 50 mph and surrounded by misty fog! I mean absolutely amazing. Our adventure started early in the morning around 9 a.m.... 

 hbgood Says:  There are several places to choose from I believe. It is about a 1 hr ride each way to the waterfalls. Your butt will hurt the next day with all the bouncing but it is a great trip. And swimming in the falls was great. There are many steps down to the falls which will be... 

 hbgood Says:  Baldi Termae has 10 different pools that each have a different temperature. The rivers turned hot the last time the volcano eruputed (around the 60's I believe, could be wrong). There is lush vegetation around the pools and stone walkways. There is even a swim out bar. It... 

 lashr1999 Says:  The hanging bridges are located close to the Arenal volcano and the town of Fortuna. They are a series of metallic bridges that are suspended in the rain forest. There are 15 bridges which range in size from 5 to 100 meters in length and some are about 40 meter or more above... 

 lashr1999 Says:  This garden is in an out of the way region in the Arenal area. To get to it you have to pass a small town with dirt roads and small houses. Just before you get to the butterfly garden there is the Serpentaria where you can see many snakes and reptiles. The best time to go it... 

 lashr1999 Says:  Perhaps the best value for an exciting tour is the canopy tour by www.canopy.co.crIt offers you a choice of horseback riding or a trailer ride to the rain forest site where you will begin your canopy tour. Before the tour, you are instructed on how the equipment works and...

 travelgirl3 Says:  The Great Room at the Lodge is the centre of the activities. Here you can play pool, shoot some darts, play board games, or just relax in front of the giant fireplace with a cocktail.It was such a laid-back atmosphere, and we felt totally at home, from the minute we arrived. 

 Robin922 Says:  If you plan to stay in the area you may wish to drive, however it you are planning a daytrip I would suggest doing one of the tours. For about 80 USD (lunch & dinner included) you get a full day of fun. Most leave in the morning, and make a few interesting stops along the... 

 travelgirl3 Says:  While walking along one of the paths, we noticed these big ant hills off to the side, so Hubby had to go and investigate. On our first day there, the guides warned us to always tuck our pant legs into our socks, so the ants wouldn't crawl up inside your jeans. You'll notice...
