Sightseeing in Costa Rica, The Arenal Volcano


We rent horses and, with a guide, we ride up to a lookout to get a closer look at the volcano.

From the lookout we can hear the volcano's rumbles and grumbles, and clearly see massive boulders of volcanic material constantly streaming down the side of the mountain.

Note the whitish puffs near the treeline on the right side of the cone.


A close-up shows the bouncing trail of massive lava rocks careening downhill, breaking up and releasing gasses and steam from their core.
