We spent our second day at the Arenal Volcano National Park, which was amazing. While hiking, we kept hearing rumbling noises, thinking that it was about to storm, but then we realized, oh yea, that's just the LIVE volcano! Kind of freaky to think about, but it really was gorgeous. The volcano hasn't really erupted since 1961, when it completely destroyed an entire town below it, which they later just turned into a man-made lake. Now you can hike up and see all the old lava rocks and take a gander at the still rumbling volcano. The drive to the park was probably one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on. So perfect. Here are some of the photos of us at the park and hiking up the volcano.
This is Travis and I standing between the volcano and the lake.
This is Travis on top of this massive lava rock formation. Behind him is the volcano, which if you look close, you can see some of the hot ash rocks that are rolling down the mountain. Just don't get too close.
I made the mistake of wearing flip-flops while hiking up over lava rocks.. Not the smartest thing I've ever done (and no, the red isn't blood, it's polish). My feet were a little sore afterwards, but thankfully we were headed to the hot springs.
