La Fortuna is a town of just 15,000 people located north of Costa Rica's capital of San José, in the central lowlands. Yet some 1.5 million people visit it every year. That means this little hamlet is perpetually bursting at the seams with visitors eager to witness the most famous volcano in a country with no shortage of volcanoes.
So why is Arenal volcan number one? For starters, it's considered one of Costa Rica's most active volcanos, although it's been a while since this 5,673-foot-high beast really lost its temper. The last major eruption occurred in 1968, but it was a big one. Three giant craters erupted on the west side of the volcano, spewing toxic gases and lava that decimated the towns of Tabacón and Pueblo Nuevo, claiming 87 lives in the process.
Folks needn't worry, though. Arenal has seen little activity in the intervening 50 years, although it still puts on a show. During the day visitors are treated to smoke billowing from the peak while. What newbies may not know is that Arenal isn't the only volcano in the area. The smaller Chato Volcano is 3,740 feet high and lies just a few meters southeast of Arenal, close to the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall. Chato has been dormant for 3,500 years but it does contain a massive crater that has formed an idyllic green lagoon.
