Arenal Volcano Hike & Baldi Hot Springs: Itinerary

Your day will begin with your first hike on a scenic trail at the bottom of the Arenal Volcano that will take you through the rainforest and over recent lava flows. The Arenal Volcano eruption of 1968 left the area completely destroyed and it is now in the process of regeneration. Before the active period of 1968, a splendid canopy of vegetation covered the Arenal Volcano. People who used to climb to the top of Arenal reveal that they slept in the crater surrounded by large trees enjoying the sound & warmth of the small steam vents under the light of the stars.

On this 3-hour guided hike, you'll learn from your naturalist guide about the history of the majestic Arenal Volcano and the impact it had on our local area and community throughout the centuries. Marvel at the breathtaking views just before heading back to continue onto your second highlight of the day!

The Baldi Hot Springs is the most expansive hot spring facility in the Arenal Volcano area. The pools are large and small, hot and cold, with walking paths between them.

Get to relax in the pools and choose among the different temperatures to rejuvenate body, mind and soul. For the more adventurous, get to choose from a range of water slides to add some fun to your wellness experience.

This tour includes shuttle transportation from and to your La Fortuna hotel or vacation home.
