TRANSCRIPT
Good morning everyone, my name is Samantha from Mytanfeet and welcome to our Youtube channel. In this video today we are going to visit Arenal volcano on a 1 day tour from San Jose, we're very excited as this is a very popular day tour from the city so let's go.
The Arenal Volcano one day tour lets you experience a bit of La Fortuna and something worth mentioning about the tour is that they can leave you in La Fortuna at the end of the day if its your next destination.
The first stop on the tour was Sarchi, Costa Rica's most famous woodworking, arts and crafts center and birthplace of the oxcart.
The oxcart is the national symbol of Costa Rica and the case of the oxcart is a very important part of our history, it's not just something cultural its something also related to our history that's the reason why we come here and learn about the oxcart is something extremely important.
Guys this is one of the wheels from one of the largest oxcarts in the world, look at the size of this thing.
This part of the tour stops at the Eloy Alfaro oxcart factory which is the only one left in Costa Rica producing the handmade oxcarts on a regular basis. The factory, which is over 100 years old, is still powered by a huge water mill and everything is produced right here, including the wood cutting and painting. The elaborate colorful paintings on the oxcart is what solidified it as a national icon of Costa Rica and this factory proudly produced the largest oxcart in the world, which sits in the town square of Sarchi.
After our factory visit, we continued onto La Fortuna, about a 2 hour drive.
We have arrived at our lunch spot here in La Fortuna, we are hungry so let's go get some food.
Lunch, which is included in the tour, was either Costa Rican rice with chicken, a burger or a traditional lunch.
We just finished our lunch and now we are going to go to the 1968 reserve to walk off all that delicious food and we have an amazing view of Arenal volcano completely clear right now.
We are now at the 1968 reserve we are going to go to the lookout point which is just a 5 minute walk from the entrance.
Today is such a beautiful day here in la Fortuna as you can see the arenal volcano is just perfectly clear and wow its just amazing to see.
We are located at arenal 1968 it's a viewpoint and we're located near the national park. This spot has the best view of the arenal volcano all over the la fortuna and you can see different sections of the volcano, you can see the lava flow 1968, you can see different formations of the volcano and from here you can see the lake arenal, this is the biggest and most important reservoir of water in costa rica, it has an extension of 86 square kilometers and from here we will give you an explanation of the volcano and an explanation of the scenery in general and of course if you have any question, it is welcome.
We spent about 20-30 minutes at the viewpoint, soaking in the incredible views of the volcano and after we left, we drove 15 minutes to the hot spring resort. Thanks to the naturally hot Tabacon river, La Fortuna is the top destination in Costa Rica for hot springs. A visit to La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano is not complete without a stop at the hot springs.
This is the Ecotermales hot springs where we're going to stay for a couple of hours to relax and wind down the day, also this is where we're going to have dinner.
Ecotermales has 6 pools of various temperatures as well as one cooler temperature fresh water pool and a waterfall. They also offer a bar with poolside service. For dinner, they had a great buffet of meat, salads, veggies, soup, desserts, which were all delicious and very filling.
