We arrived in La Fortuna yesterday, we are staying at Arenal Lodge on the side of one of Mount Arenal.
The volcano had been dormant since October 1922 prior to a VEI=2 eruption in 1968.[2] The eruption wiped out the town of Arenal and killed 87 people.[3] It lasted for several days, and during that time destroyed crops, property, livestock, and forests. Fifteen square kilometers were buried and the explosion affected over 232 square kilometers. It has been active almost continuously since the eruption.
Pics from last night.
It is 8:50 in the morning with a heavy drizzle so I think I will take a pass on the butterfly tour.
