One of the main attractions of the Boca de Arenal area is its close proximity to Costa Rica's most magnificent volcano: Arenal.

Located in the central region of the country, Arenal Volcano was once the country's most active volcano and it put on a light show nearly every night. Small bursts of lava could be seen for miles. It has been very quite since 2010, but scientists do believe it is still alive – they say it's just "resting."

Venado Caves
The Venado Caves, located just east of the Arenal Volcano National Park, were formed 15 to 20 million years ago. Discovered by the native Guatusos, the caves were formed by limestone drippings which created stalactites, limestone stones, stalagmites and chorales. Although travelers should expect to get fairly dirty climbing through holes and scaling walls of the caves, this once in a lifetime adventure is worth the temporary grime.
Vacationers looking for a laid-back place to bask in the lush greenery and stunning views of Costa Rica should look no further than Boca de Arenal. Centrally located, Boca de Arenal puts travelers in a prime spot to explore all the natural wonders of the country.
