That's right guys...
probably the next best tourist attraction Costa Rica has to offer..the magnificent Volcan Arenal..an active volcano, lying the in heart of Costa Rica amongst the rain forest.
A truly impressive sight as you approach on the single road that carries the bus loads of tourists daily from far a field.
It was probably worth the overnight stay to catch a glimpse of the larva...be it red specks...but a great atmosphere as tourists gather at the view point at 6pm to witness Arenal in action.
La Fortuna, one of the few places in Costa Rica, which boasts clean roads, the lack of stray dogs and our prize find, a Viennese Cafe serving quality food whilst playing the likes of Beethoven....
an oasis amongst the chaos ...
However, one cannot leave the area without a visit to the famous hot springs ( aguas thermales). We chose Baldi but there are alternatives such as, Tabacon. (www.costaricatravelplans.com/baldi_hot_springs_la_fortuna_costa_rica_arenal_volcano_hot_springs.html
As we lounge in the hot springs, occasionally sip on wine, take a dip in the pool, soak in the view of Volcan Arenal, we realise 3 hours is not enough !
We sadly leave La Fortuna on Sunday, rejuvenated, preparing ourselves for the daily tropical storms of San Jose.....
....only 15 days to go before the summer begins in Costa Rica....
