Arenal Volcano Eruption Journal - May 17th, Linda Vista del Norte

Throughout the day the clouds had been dancing around the rim of the Arenal Volcano however it began to clear around 12:30 pm just in time for our lunch at Linda Vista del Norte. There are two eruption sequences captured, as you can see the ashy line streaking down the side of the Volcano. During the day, the eruptions are quite different than the bright red-orange of the eruptions that occur at night.

We had a wonderful trip. All arrangements were handled promptly and on time. With howler monkeys outside our windows and being able to walk right onto the beach, it doesn’t get better than this.
