Five of us drove around most of Lake Arenal. We stopped at a couple of spots on our trip. Some nice interesting views. The volcano was covered by clouds most of the time. Full review by Edwin F

On our Caravan Costa Rica 8 day tour we drove around this lake on our way to Guanacaste Province. The lake is man-made for hydro power purposes. It took 1 year to fill the lake. Full review by KnitsbyConnie
