Arenal Observatory Lodge rests in the heart of one of Costa Rica’s largest nature preserves – the Arenal Conservation Area. This pristine rainforest is uniquely located within the Arenal Volcano National Park boundaries, where primary and secondary tropical rainforests grow in fertile volcanic soil, creating a rich habitat for birds, butterflies, mammals, reptiles, and insects. One of the more iconic sounds of the rainforest at Arenal Volcano is the howler monkeys that you can often hear in the early mornings or late afternoons.
