Nayara overlooks the majestic Arenal Volcano, one of the youngest, still active volcanoes in this hemisphere. It is an imposing mountain that dominates the landscape of the area and that can be seen from almost every corner of the resort.
Arenal is also the premier adventure destination in Costa Rica: soaring canopies, hanging bridges, waterfalls and caves, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, whitewater rafting, fishing, zip lines, and nature safaris.
For those looking for healing and wellness, the Arenal area has many hot springs to bath in and reenergize.
Located on a 600 acre reserve with lush vegetation and a variety of birds and animals which you experienced guide will help you spot. The trail is 3.1 Km in length, crossing a total of 15 bridges,9 fixed, and 6 hanging.
Drive to the active Western side of the volcano and embark on a hike on the Toucans Trail which traverses the rainforest and crosses over a large lava flow from 1992. Observe a great variety of plants, wildlife and magnificent lava rock formations. On the top you will have a beautiful view of the Arenal Lake.
The ATV tour gives you unique views of the volcano in a fun and adventurous ride. The trail goes through pastureland and arrives at Los Lagos de los Lirios, the only lake in the area that contains sulfur residues from the volcano. You will pass through a tropical humid forest and enjoy local flora and fauna.
Biking around the Arenal area is a lot of fun. Since bikes are not allowed in the national park the excursion goes around the park in the many small roads that surround it. After biking you drop off at the Hot Springs of your choice.
Birds are most active early morning or late afternoon so you have 2 walking times for bird watching. You will see toucans, parrots, Montezuma oropendolas, colorful tanagers and parakeets. The tour is tailored to the level of the birdwatcher.
This is one of the best places in the continent for bird watching. Cano Negro River is also home to many animals: sloths, monkeys, caimans, lizards, bats, and a great variety of indigenous plants and insects.
A vertical descent using ropes and harness: the ultimate adrenaline booster! The scenic beauty of the canyon heightens the excitement of the descent; the adventure begins in a 300-meter zip line that will take you to the Pino Blanco Waterfall observation desk.
Eco-Termales is a family-run project that operates pools with hot-springs at different temperatures. One of the pools has a refreshing cascading waterfall. The restaurant, a colonial house, offers traditional Costa Rican food. The owners, the Hidalgo family still live upstairs.
Horses will take you through rolling hills, pastures and the rainforest surrounding the Arenal Volcano, to the waterfall trailhead, a ride that will take around an hour. You dismount and hike down the waterfall, a spectacular 60m cascade of fresh rainforest water where you can take a refreshing bath.
The night walk takes place at the “Eco-centro Danaus” or Eco-centro Oasis, a small reserve which focuses on conservation and education. A visit to the center at night will give you the opportunity to see nocturnal animals in action such as sloths, spiders, frogs, bats, butterflies and birds.
