Arenal and Beach

Day 1 : To the northwest of the capital, Alajuela welcomes visitors from all over the world, as the airport is located on its territory.
In addition to the city, its proximity to the Poás volcano makes it a privileged location. The flanks of the volcano are covered with coffee crops, and most of the country’s strawberries come from here.
Volcano viewing is best done early in the morning, then don’t miss the gardens and waterfalls of La Paz, a true concentrate of Costa Rica.
Since the volcano’s last eruption in 2019, work has been carried out to protect the public from the crater’s fumes. Tickets must now be booked online, and time in the park is limited to 20 minutes to protect the public from fumes, bearing in mind that the crater is one of the most acidic lakes in the world, with a PH of between 0 and 0.5.
Although its turquoise color is an invitation to swim, not many organisms can survive in this environment.
