Nature at his best : Volcano Arenal and Jungle

We get up early as real farmers! We are ready for another day of exploring. The day is bright and clear so we decided to take a good look at the Volcano from the observatory that it is the terrace of a hotel. We were really lucky, the volcano was in full activity: rumbling, lava flowing, rocks tumbling, incredible noisy explosions and we can not stop looking at it. Every other minutes there is something happening. We take the old lava trail down to the river, it is quite a hike but we reward ourselves by a little dip in the water! Oh nature...

We climb up and have lunch at the observatory while continuing looking a the Volcano. An entire family of coati have entertained the kids for a long while.

We visit the little museum and then we get ready for another 3 km. hike across the hanging bridges. It is a very pleasant walk in the forest who gives you time to appreciate nature without the zip cord adrenaline. We are pretty tired!
