La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano

The sights and sounds of an active volcano erupting are awesome. Arenal volcano is one the world´s most active regularly active volcanoes. Frequent powerful explosions send cascades of red-hot lava rocks tumbling down the western slope, and the lava flows steam and rumble. Although this is very impressive during the day, at night the volcano puts on its most mesmerizing show. If you are lucky enough to be here on a clear and active night you will see the night sky turned red by lava spewing from Arenal´s crater and watch glowing lava flows stream down its flanks.
Rising in a near perfect cone, the 1633m (5,300 ft) Arenal Volcano lay dormant for hundreds of years until July 1968, when a sudden eruption (at 7:00am aprox) leveled the former of Tabacon and killed almost 80 of its habitants.
