Volcan Arenal

By the time we returned from Tenorio, it was dark. We decided to see Volcan Arenal, an active volcano near Fortuna. When we first arrived, there was a glowing red corona around the peak, but it soon faded. In the darkness, we could see red lava cascading down the sides of the mountain. The hissing and moaning sounds of the lava were as spectacular as the sight. Unfortunately, it was too dark to photograph without a tripod. Our guide told us that the volcano is barely visible during the day --- only a white smoke can be seen.
