Arenal National Park

Arenal National Park

The Arenal Volcano is actually part of the Arenal Volcano National Park, established in 1991. This volcano feeds lake Arenal and is a center of natural energy projects in the region. When it exploded in 1968 after lying dormant for 400 years and destroyed three villages at its base, communities have since kept a safe distance from the Arenal Volcano Costa Rica. Since then three active craters continually spew hot ash, steam and lava in to the air. Although its eruption caused losses, it have given this area a new lease on life, becoming a main source of revenue for the area, which has always been dependent on agriculture as a means of living.
