Day 4 - Arenal Volcano Hike

Head to the lobby to meet with your guide and then head to one of the 3 trails available on this tour: the Lava 1968 Reserve, Arenal Volcano National Park, or El Silencio Reserve.
The first covers the area affected by the 1968 eruption, and brings you closest to the crater, though it is forbidden to reach the crater itself.
The National Park option gives you the most comprehensive look at the park itself, from the dense forests to the expansive lava fields.
El Silencio offers you the best chance to see some of the local wildlife, and winds through the rainforest itself over the remnants of ancient flows.

Stop for a snack break of some local fruits before continuing down the river, and paddling through some of the calmer waters as your adventure wraps up.
Change back into your everyday clothes and then enjoy a homemade meal and a demonstration of how sugar cane is harvested.
