LAND / Costa Rica

Set high on a ridge facing Costa Rica's most active and spectacular volcano, the Arenal Observatory Lodge offers the adventures traveler a unique experience.

You can enjoy the sound and fury of Arenal Volcano's constant eruptions from the comfort or your room, or from one of the many volcano viewing sites around the lodge.

The Lodge was actually born out the very humble buildings originally erected on a farm to house scientist and researchers from the Smithsonian Institute and Earthwatch.

The Arenal Observatory Lodge offers 37 rooms in four separate building spread on the propery. All are comfortable and most have volcano views from the privacy of your bedroom. Five rooms are fully equiped for disabled travelers, with rooms, bathrooms, hallways, parking areas and even the new swimming pool designed accordingly.

The lodge is located just 1.8 kilometers from the active Crater of Arenal Volcano, and is separated from it by a deep river valley. The location was specifically chosen in the 1970's by Scientist from the Smithsonian Institute, who needed a close but safe vantage point from which to study the volcano.

Arenal observatory Lodge is situated on a ridge 120 meters above Lake Arenal (360 feet). The ridge rises between the Agua Caliente and Quebrada Danta Rivers. This topographical feature is important, so as any possible lava flow will not affect the lodge. The lodge s within ZONE "D" Low Danger Area, near the volcano. Moreover, as prevailing winds are from the East, the lodge would seldom be affected by ash or other fallout from a major eruption, as the lodge is located to the southeast of the volcano.
