Costa Rica
Arenal
A volcanic cone rises from rainforest where hot springs meet adventure trails.
The symmetrical silhouette of Arenal Volcano dominates every view, its perfect cone emerging from dense rainforest canopy. This is Costa Rica's adventure capital, where zip-line tours thread between cecropia trees and thermal pools steam against jungle backdrops. The pace alternates between heart-pumping canopy walks and languid soaks in mineral-rich waters heated by the earth below.
