La Fortuna Volcano Hike El Silencio Trail｜Costa Rica

We invite you to walk along the foothills of Costa Rica's most famous active volcano, in an experience designed to bring you close to Arenal, surrounded by pure nature.

The route takes you through a network of trails that wrap around the base of the volcano, each one offering its own angle and its own kind of magic. Among them all, there's one spot that we think is simply unmatched: El Silencio Viewpoint. You get there through easy to moderate trails, suitable for the whole family, that climb gradually up to a privileged lookout point where you'll feel like the cone of Arenal is almost right in front of you.

Along the way, the forest has a way of surprising you. With a bit of luck and a sharp eye, you might spot monkeys, toucans, sloths and a wide variety of birds and wildlife that make this place a true natural sanctuary.

This walk is perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature, capture incredible photos and take in one of the best views of Arenal, all without needing an extreme trek.

It's a simple experience, but an unforgettable one. That's what it means to walk at the foot of Costa Rica's most iconic volcano.
