Resort Activities, Arenal Volcano Area

The resort we stayed at was amazing. We had our own portion of a quadplex (like a duplex with 4 units each). Each morning we would walk down to breakfast. They did have a shuttle but we preferred to walk through the beautiful grounds.

After breakfast we would wander the various trails. One had alligators, one area went to a butterfly habitat, the trails themselves had animals hiding if you looked closely. Here we are decided if we want to head to butterflies (left side of picture) or alligators (right side of picture). This entire area is rainforest, so we did get caught in the rain a few times. Luckily, we don't melt.

Here we are after getting caught in the rain. We are drying off and playing Connect 4 while waiting for the rest of the family to wake up. Apparently when you don't have twin alarm clocks you get to sleep in.

There was a look out area just a few steps away from our room. It had a great view over the valley, a great view of the volcano, and as we discovered, a great view of the stars. City kids aren't used to seeing that many stars and we spent time almost every night trying to find constellations.
