Catarata la Fortuna (La Fortuna Waterfall):
Our first stop of the day was a hike to the La Fortuna Waterfall, which consisted of walking up and down five hundred steps to reach a beautiful swimming hole. We all enjoyed a refreshing dip and the beautiful views. As we were leaving, we spotted our first monkeys of the trip!

Kayaking on Lake Arenal:
For our kayaking excursion, we drove to Lake Arenal, which has beautiful views of the Arenal Volcano. All of the students and chaperones went out in two-person kayaks and followed a tour guide around the lake. While it did feel like we were in bumper boats at some points due to the traffic congestion, it was a highly enjoyable experience. It was also good for us to get some exercise after sitting in planes and buses for the past two days!

Arenal Hot Springs:
Our last excursion of the day was a visit to a spectacular collection of hot springs. We had the chance to relax in pools of different temperatures, starting at luke-warm and finishing at scalding hot. After hiking and kayaking, it felt nice to sit back and relax! The hot springs, as you might expect, are created by the natural heat from the volcanic activity in the region.
Tomorrow, we will have the opportunity to hike up part of the Arenal Volcano, and then we will be traveling to the Monteverde region of Costa Rica. Coming from the Green Mountains, we should feel right at home at our next destination!
