The imposing Arenalal Volcano is undeniable and this is the first thing we think of when visiting La Fortuna of San Carlos, where this natural wonder is located.

Whoever visits this protected area should not miss, in addition, the lava flows that came down in 1992, the impressive ceiba tree with more than 400 years old and the trails along an extensive and authentic rainforest, where you can appreciate the wildlife and resources that the park protects.

Also, with each visit you contribute directly to the conservation of natural resources, as 100% of the entrance fee goes to the National Parks Fund, which is used in solidarity to finance all protected areas in the country.

History

The Arenal Volcano National Park (PNVA) was created on September 30, 1991. This area is of great importance for the conservation of the local water regime, which guarantees the constant supply of water to the Arenal reservoir and nearby human settlements. It also considers the scenic beauty and volcanic activity, which are important tourist attractions for regional development, economic activity and the contribution to the national electrification system.
