Our
adventure begins in the Central Station, a large modern building
set in the forest, whose platform houses the loud whistle of
departure and arrival of the beautiful locomotive pulling three
safe and comfortable cars each.
During the course of approximately 30 minutes and placed in the
first car, our experienced naturalist guides provide
interpretation of forest and the area in general, traveling 3 km
on a railway line to the point of return.
Here we got off and walked a few yards to the viewing. From
here, a unique landscape can be admired, with the majestic
Arenal Volcano, the lake and the lush and former volcano, Cerro
Chato, as the main protagonists. Also, waterfalls bordering the
green mountains and distant plains that extend to the northern
neighbor country can be seen.
At this point you can capture amazing photos of the breathtaking
view and the variety of flora and fauna abounding in this
beautiful area.
In the area, a delicious fresh coffee awaits you, or if you
prefer, a steaming chocolate, accompanied by a homemade snack,
courtesy of the house.
From this viewpoint, you can also take a guided short hike on
the trails, where you will appreciate more about the natural
wealth that is home to one of the most famous rainforest in the
world.
We will return through the same route, but at a faster pace.
However, if any of the inhabitants of this forest makes its
appearance, the guide will stop the train for a few seconds to
provide information and allow taking pictures of this
unforgettable trip.
Each trip has duration of 90 minutes and departs every hour
between eight o'clock and four o'clock in the afternoon, for the
last train of the day.
