Hotels in Arenal Volcano National Park, Costa Rica

Arenal Volcano National Park sits in northern Costa Rica, famous for its active volcano that occasionally spews ash and lava, and its natural hot springs heated by geothermal energy. The climate is warm year-round, averaging 75°F (24°C) in the dry season from December to April, when hiking to see the volcano's perfect cone is best, and the rainy season from May to November brings lush greenery and quieter trails perfect for spotting toucans and howler monkeys. You can soak in hot springs fed by the volcano, zip-line through the cloud forest, or kayak on Lake Arenal for a view of the volcano reflected in the water.
