Costa Rica - Arenal Volcano

Yes, it is very cool to stay near a volcano!( In case you were wondering. ) The kids were a bit cautious at first, worrying about it blowing lava! However, we were a safe distance away from Arenal but still had great views.

Lost Iguana resort was our home base for exploring this area of Costa Rica. It was in a lush jungle area, on the side of a mountain, with great views. We fell in love with this quaint resort, and hope to return someday.

The view from our room.




There were impressive wood carvings, everywhere!
The carved door to our room. All the rooms had similar doors.
More details we found on a path - these lit up the pathways during the night.
Watching birds from our breakfast table in the restuarant. One day we even saw a Tucan!
The restaurant from the outside.

And, our fav., the warm swim up bar pool. :)
Max can touch the bottom!

And we also spent time exploring the resort which was a huge jungle. We even found a hibiscus maze which the kids thought was great! It was a lush area and we loved it. The river was also a great place for an adventure.







If you are looking at a map, you might notice how Arenal does not seem that far away, from Liberia. However, due to a lack for roads, and good ones at that, it is best to take a day to get there and settle in. Then take a couple days to hang out and enjoy the area.
