Trip to Volcan Arenal

Trip to the Springs Resort in Fortuna home of volcan Arenal. Taking advantage of a long weekend, we went with another Lincoln school family, the Despians' who've become close family friends. It was a beautiful weather weekend, in the midst of the rainy season we escaped rain and enjoyed the resorts 18 natural springs pools and waterslide. We even had the rare treat of seeing volcan Arenal erupt lava at night, what a sight! The red lava spurting and traveling down the side of the volcano was amazing! It was a very peaceful, restful trip and has become a favorite of our we'll surely revisit.

From our room we had marvelous views of volcan Arenal.
