The Arenal 1968 Trail is a popular hiking trail located in the town of Fortuna, Costa Rica. The trail is named after the Arenal Volcano, which erupted in 1968 and created the surrounding landscape. The trail is known for its stunning views of the volcano and the surrounding rainforest.
The trail is approximately 3.5 miles long and takes about 3-4 hours to complete. The terrain is moderate to difficult, with steep inclines and rocky terrain. Hikers are advised to wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water.
The trail begins at the Arenal Observatory Lodge and leads through lush rainforest, with towering trees and a variety of wildlife. Along the way, hikers will encounter several streams and waterfalls, providing a refreshing break from the heat.
As the trail ascends, hikers will reach a lookout point with panoramic views of the Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal. This is a popular spot for taking photos and enjoying the scenery.
The trail continues through a lava field created by the 1968 eruption, with jagged rocks and barren landscape. Hikers will also pass by several hot springs, where they can take a dip and relax in the warm water.
The Arenal 1968 Trail is a must-visit for anyone visiting Fortuna, offering a unique and unforgettable hiking experience.
