Eruption!

Today we got to witness an erupting volcano while relaxing in hot springs and getting massages.

We went to see Arenal Volcano.

Arenal is a volcano that has been in constant activity since the eruption in 1968. It's not active enough to be dangerous, if you keep your distance; it's just active enough to look really amazing. Still, it's pretty creepy to be so close to an erupting volcano!

Our nerves were calmed by Los Peridos springs. The name means "the lost springs", but today, they are a popular tourist destination. The volcanic activity below the surface creates natural hot tubs of warm, bubling mineral water. We also got excellent massages while we watched Arenal Explode. It was thrilling and relaxing at the same time.
