Lake Arenal
Lake Arenal is a lake in Costa Rica, the largest lake in the country. A dam was completed in 1979 that enlarged the existing lake. It is located near the Arenal Volcano and also the Monteverde cloud forest, at 10.5333333° N 84.9333333° W. Lake Arenal is the key driver in a nationwide hydroelectric project that currently produces the majority of electricity for the entire country. Excess electricity is sold to the neighbouring countries of Nicaragua and Honduras. Water depth generally varies between 100 and 200 feet. The communities of "old" Arenal and Tronadera were submerged by the expanded lake.- Arenal Volcano tours usually start out in the early afternoon and include walking for about an hour through lava rocks before reaching , the best place to view the eruption from the volcano. There are also possibilities of skipping the lava rock walking and go straight to . At the observation point you hopefully will see eruptions and lava flow that can be quite spectacular set against the black night sky, but often it will be so cloudy that you won't see a thing. Most tours state that they will stay for a hour/hour and half at this place, but if there is nothing to be seen probably a lot less. Also be aware that it might be chilly, so bring a jacket. The tours come in a variety of options: with buffet dinner and entrance to the Tabacon hot spa $64, with entrance to Baldi hot spa $30, just the tour $25. There is also a possibility of a no frills tour by mini-bus to and back to Fortuna for $10.
- Fortuna waterfall by horse $25. Stone steps lead to the bottom. Take a swimsuit for the pool in the lovely stream below. The entrance is accessible by road, so a cab works fine too.
