Cerro Arenal is a prominent volcano located in Costa Rica. It stands at approximately 1,670 meters (5,470 feet) above sea level and is known for its nearly perfect conical shape. The volcano is part of the Arenal Volcano National Park, which is a popular destination for tourists seeking adventure and natural beauty. The last major eruption of Cerro Arenal occurred in 1968, resulting in significant lava flows and ash fall. Since then, the volcano has been in a state of relative dormancy, although it remains an active geological feature. The surrounding area is rich in biodiversity, making it a habitat for various species of flora and fauna.
