July 19, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

If waterfalls, hot springs, wildlife and volcanoes are your thing, then Arenal Volcano National Park will take your breath away. One of the world’s most active volcanoes burps tufts of smoke in the background as you make your way through forests and old lava fields. Take a rafting tour or hit the beach, then retire to a comfy hotel.

Venado Caves

Reviewed By Richard-E-Canada

Very interesting, worthwhile tour. We did the full trip, complete with tight squeezes through some narrow spots and some hands-and-knees passages in water. You’ll get thoroughly wet, but it’s warm and not very muddy. Guide was friendly and funny, with decades of experience. I brought my own powerful waterproof light and it was helpful for a few photos. If you’re -how should I put it- “sizeable” , the tight squeezes might be challenging or impossible, but there are other more open options.
