Arenal Volcano Eruption Journal - August 27th, Arenal Springs View

We awoke early in the morning, found the weather clear, and were able to snap a few shots as dawn transitioned into day. As you can see in the pictures, there were two large gas and steam expulsions on the right side of the crater. These are always enjoyable to watch, as they quickly appear and within a matter of minutes are gone.

Check out our Arenal Volcano Map for an update on the volcano’s current activity. It did, however, enter into a resting phase in 2010. At present, no eruptions are occurring.

There are a number of excursions in Arenal that allow for close viewing of the Arenal volcano. These include hikes through the Arenal Volcano National Park and the 4-in-one Arenal excursion, which includes a trip to the waterfall, a volcano hike, and a visit to one of the area’s hot springs.

A Mother Daughter Epic Journey

Costa Rica is a beautiful country full of beautiful people. When talking about Costa Rica with my mom/travel partner, she said "Is that someplace people go?". After our first day there all her worries were alleviated by all of the wonderful and helpful people we met.
