Lake Arenal has many activities to choose from. You could probably spend a week exploring this area alone! Here are the top things to do in Arenal:
- Hike the Volcano. One of the most popular things to do in the region is, of course, hike the massive volcano that looms over the towns. I suggest the 1968 Lava Trail; it's a hard hike, but the views make it completely worth it.
- Visit La Fortuna Waterfall. The best waterfall in the region, this waterfall is easy to access with a built-in staircase leading down between two mountains. Full guide to visiting La Fortuna Waterfall here.
- Walk the Hanging Brides. Do this if you didn't have time to visit Monteverde in Costa Rica. Mistico Parks hanging bridges are considered the best in Arenal.
- Schedule an Adventure Tour. There are loads of companies and tours in the area to choose from. A couple of your options include zip-lining, ATV riding, trying out canyoning, or going on a safari boat ride.
