Volcano Arenal in Costa Rica

          Volcano Arenal located in LaFortuna,Costa Rica has been quiet lately. In the Months of July through December, the Volcano was  very active. Here are some phots of the Volcanic Eruption, showing ash clouds as the Lava flowed at night it was diffulculy to capture on camera.
Volcano Arenal is the number one tourist destination in Costa Rica. You may hike up the extinct Volcano of Cerro Chato, the hike takes about 2 hours along the way you will see Wildlife found within the Rainforest. There is a beutiful Lake where hikers stop and have lunch overserving the Toucans,Parrots and the beauty of the Emerald Green Rainforest.
Since moving to Costa Rica 1 year ago, we have throughly enjoyed our home at the edge of the Rainforest, and our daily sightings of all kinds of Wildlife.
My husband a self taught artist, decided the Wildlife were so beautiful with the many colors of birds such as Toucans, Parrots and seed eaters, that he must paint them. His paintings can be found at :
