Tourism
The area around Arenal Volcano has traditionally been one of the most popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica. The area offered the opportunity to see lava running down the sides of the active volcano and hear its frequent small eruptions from a distance. Additionally, the area hosts several resorts built around hot springs and a broader tourist infrastructure that offers many of the activities available in Costa Rica—including whitewater rafting, zip line/canopy tours, wildlife viewing, waterfall rapelling, hiking, caving, and horseback riding.
