We had a great time Ecoglide Arenal. There were lots of lines and some of the longest we had been on. Got to see lots of the area. We also went to TermoArenal and these hot spring were great and they were not crowded like some of the bigger ones

Very friendly people. Enjoyed a Spanish Catholic mass downtown. Nice downtown park.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
driving in this area is very scary & dangerous, but the rainforest is beautiful; was just a little disappointed because I came for the volcano, but you can't really get close to it, so if you're like me, & you just want to see a volcano, go elsewhere

Did the sky adventures zip line and hanging bridges home, hiked arenal volcano park, went horseback riding at Mistico park
