Arenal Volcano at La Fortuna

Arenal Volcano, one of the ten most active volcanoes in the world, is a fascinating natural wonder and must visit destination for many travelers to Costa Rica. The volcano was asleep for hundreds of years and exhibited a single crater at its summit, with minor fumaroles activity, covered by dense vegetation. In 1968 it had an eruption and destroyed the small town of Tabacón. Now one of our recommended hotels is called Tabacón and has a great view of the volcano. But keep in mind that it's possible to visit here and never see any action.....no guarantees. The area is beautiful with loads of outdoor activities and a number of properties offering great hot springs. A nice break between the golf in San José and your beach destination.

Travel Tip for 2012
With all the signs pointing to travel costs rising in the New Year, what's the money-conscious traveler to do? You can still cut expenses if you strategize ahead of time, whether your travel dates and destinations are fixed or not. If you must travel to a certain place at a certain time, it's wise to plan ahead. "Book very early," says Cynthia Brough, a spokeswoman with AAA. "With airlines cutting capacity worldwide, less capacity typically leads to increased prices. If consumers are planning vacations in 2012, they should be looking to plan those vacations now."
