DESCRIPTION:

Cerro Chato is a lesser-known volcano that sits unassumingly right next to Arenal. Although Cerro Chato is dormant, it has a stunning emerald green crater lake that looks almost out of this world. The trek up to the lagoon is one of the more challenging hikes in Costa Rica so this tour is suggested to outdoor lovers and hikers. 

​

The Extreme Cerro Chato hike, along the biological corridor connecting with the Arenal Volcano, is an intense 4-5 hour Arenal hiking tour through lush rainforest. You will hike up a steep and sometimes muddy trail through the beautiful rainforest, all the way to the top.

​

Along the way up the Cerro Chato Volcano, your professional nature guide is bound to help you spot amazing bird life like toucans and the Montezuma Oropendula and other rainforest creatures, such as monkeys, anteaters, sloths, pizotes and much more.

​

Don´t forget to bring your swim suit... on warm days you maybe tempted to take a swim in the lagoon after the long hike.
