17/28.- Arenal National Park, La Fortuna

This is a view of the Arenal Volcano from the town of La Fortuna.

When visiting the Arenal, you have to wake up early in the morning. The sun rises around 5 am and sets around 5 pm. Note that the weather changes very quickly here. If you wake up and see the volcano, take a picture, because maybe later a thick fog will come and the volcano will vanish in the mist.

If you are planning a trip to Costa Rica, you should pack light. T-shirts or shirts, long trousers, bermudas, a pullover for nights, a light raincoat, sun lotion, mosquito protection and a good pair of trekking boots will be enough.
