Hot springs by Volcan Arenal

The perfect volcano cone in la Fortuna is still active and you can always see fumes smoking from the top as well as lava flowing the volcano sides. That's what we did tonight, watching the lava. We took a trail in the forest in order to go nearer, but still far enough not to be dangerous. It was really impressive. The red-orange lava is constantly flowing. After that we went to the hot springs!!! Actually it is quite strange to go in warm water when it is so hot outside. You feel like...you miss the cold weather! Anyway the place was very nice, there were about 15 pools, with bars in some of them, surrounded by tropical forest. Well it's decadent..and we enjoyed.
