Day 4 — El Silencio del Campo (3 Nights)  Next stop La Fortuna and Arenal volcano. Private bungalows await at Silencio del Campo, each with view across tropical gardens to volcán Arenal from their picture windows and private patios. Relax in the private hot spring fed pool then cool down in the separate adults or kids swimming pools.    Day 5 — Arenal Volcano Hike Arenal is the third most active volcano in the world and erupts every 5-10 minutes. Each eruption could be anything from a little ash to giant boulders and tons of lava and in the late afternoon a bilingual naturalist guide will lead you on a short hike through the rainforest to the closest safe observation point where you'll have a chance to view the glow emerge on the cone as the sun sets. Optional - This evening is the perfect opportunity if you'd like to visit Tabacón or other hotsprings for a relaxing dinner and soak.
