Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails offers you 870 acres of primary and secondary rainforest, pastureland, crystal clear rivers, and waterfalls to explore at the foot of Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica. We are uniquely and strategically located between the Arenal Volcano, Cerro Chato Volcano, and Lake Arenal – no other hotel in La Fortuna, Costa Rica comes as close!

There are seven miles of exciting trails to walk, horseback ride, or mountain bike, which you can explore on your own or with a guide. Trails are well-marked and graded for difficulty. The bird watching is extraordinary, with more than 500 species of birds recorded so far in our forest.
