    Attractions & Activities

    Arenal Volcano 
     
    Arenal Volcano which rises 5,436 feet above sea level is the most active and no doubt the most studied of all Costa Ricas volcanoes. It booms and rumbles with an unnerving consistency and its nocturnal pyrotechnics have struck awe in the hearts of thousands of observers. With its perfectly conical shape and its continuing activity, Arenal is a picture book image of a volcano. Daily ash columns, underground rumbling, glowing red lava flows and sudden explosions make Arenal a must-see on any tourists itinerary.

    Seeing a great nighttime eruption like shown in the posters is a matter of luck due to cloud cover. However, even when the summit of the volcano is covered you can often see the lava flows farther down the side. Occasionally the activity quiets down for a few weeks, but generally it puts on several eruptive displays a day.

    This is a beautiful part of Costa Rica and there is plenty to do besides volcano watching.

    Arenal Hanging Bridges 
     
    Arenal Hanging Bridges is one the most beautiful environmental friendly project in Costa Rica. Located in front of the Arenal Volcano, within the corridor followed by birds migrating between North and South America, the trails and bridges of this project will bring you as close as you could ever hope to get to the birds, the flowers and the lush vegetation of the primary rainforest. Walk right into the forest, thanks to the imposing hanging bridges overlooking the canopy and our easy, safe & beautiful trails with views of the Volcano.

    The Hanging Bridges project consists of eight (8) fixed bridges, ranging in length between 8 and 22 meters, and six (6) hanging bridges, built with the latest techniques and designed with an eye for both beauty and safety. The hanging bridges are between 48 and 98 meters long. All the bridges are made of 
    galvanized steel and high-strength aluminum. The safety mesh and the suspension cables are all galvanized steel. The entire project was designed to blend with the natural environment, leaving the forest virtually intact.

    For the nature lovers:

    * Horseback riding Primary tropical jungle (1000 acres)
    * Butterfly / Orchid Farm
    * Medicinal plant garden
    * Birdwatching
    *Tropical agriculture plantations: Cassava, plantains, bananas, sugar cane, macadamia, black pepper, pineapple, and many different fruit trees.

    The Manuel Antonio/Quepos area is one of Costa Rica’s top destinations. Known for its long stretches of white sand, dense tropical rainforest and abundant wildlife, this region is popular with sun lovers, nature enthusiasts, adrenaline seekers and deep sea fishing anglers.

    While Manuel Antonio remains an eco-friendly area, the roads, dining and nightlife are among the best of any beach destination in Costa Rica. An abundance of nearby tours and activities can keep you busy every day of your stay if you so desire.
