Remembering The Hike To Arenal Volcano

The evening was very warm when the van picked me up at my hotel in the village of La Fortuna.
We were headed to hike the beautiful rainforest which surrounds the huge volcano of Arenal.
Once we arrived to start the hike the weather was much cooler. I was surrounded by large trees and beautiful plants. As the hike began I could see many different types of insects, one of which was a small orange frog, his skin was very shinny. Also I was surrounded by many different types of birds. The group was going very slow, as there was much to see and we were moving very quietly, so not to disturb any of the animals or insects whose homes we were invading.
After 2 hours, we made our way to see the beautiful Arenal Volcano. We arrived at the side of the volcano which is the active. I was so close to this black piece of rock that I could see the red rocks tumbling down its side. This was one of the most exciting things that I have ever experienced.
