You step onto volcanic gravel as dawn pulls mist from the rain forest; the cone of Arenal looms ahead, its profile blunt and patient, watching the valley wake. The morning hike threads old lava flows and shaded trails, where ferns clutch cooled basalt and the trail alternates between packed soil and exposed rock. Birdsong punctuates the climb and occasional clearings deliver a sudden, wide view of the volcano and Lake Arenal beyond.
