Arenal Volcano (
Spanish:
Volcán Arenal) is an active
andesitic stratovolcano in north-western
Costa Rica around 90 km northwest of
San José, in the province of
Alajuela, canton of
San Carlos, and district of
La Fortuna. The Arenal volcano measures at least 1,633 metres (5,358 ft) high.
[2] It is conically shaped with a crater 140 metres (460 ft) in diameter. Geologically, Arenal is considered a young volcano and it is estimated to be less than 7,500 years old.
[1] It is also known as "Pan de Azúcar", "Canaste", "Volcan Costa Rica", "Volcan Río Frío" or "Guatusos Peak".

The volcano was
dormant for hundreds of years and exhibited a single crater at its summit, with minor
fumaroles activity, covered by dense vegetation. In 1968 it erupted unexpectedly, destroying the small town of Tabacón. Due to the eruption three more craters were created on the western flanks but only one of them still exists today. Since 2010, Arenal has been dormant.
