HISTORY

• Campo Verde Hotel is located at the base of the Arenal Volcano in the area known as La Palma. The hotel is on the Peñaranda Quesada Farmland, which was formed by Mr. Carlos Peñaranda (deceased), his wife Soledad Quesada and their children. Mrs. Soledad Quesada is the daughter of Mr. Alberto “Beto” Quesada, considered in 1930 one of the founders of the town which was initially called El Burío Neighborhood, but due to the richness of its soils, the neighbors changed its name to La Fortuna. Beginning in the 1930’s and for decades to follow, the town’s founders hiked the mountain which was rumored to be a volcano, in order to try to verify the veracity of the rumors.

• In 1959, the first filming of an expedition to the crater was organized. Upon returning from the expedition some believed the mountain was in fact a volcano, and others did not. This film is available for viewing in the reception of our hotel.

• On July 29th, 1968, what was known as Mt. Arenal, reveled its irrefutable volcanic nature with an eruption of huge hot rocks, burning gases, and tons of ash. From this moment on, Arenal became the most important site for volcanic investigation in all of Costa Rica, and one of the most important in the world. After the eruption the area was evacuated from the region and the Peñaranda Quesada Family had to go live in “La Villa”; the area known today as Ciudad Quesada.

• After one year, the authorities permitted the return to the area and the family began to rebuild their farm, dedicated to milk production. Around 2004, several of the children began to dedicate portions of the land to tourism, as it had become an important activity in the region, by building several small hotels

ARENAL VOLCANO, the magic mountain

ORIGINAL PICTURE TAKEN FROM

www.hotelcampoverde.com/arenal-volcano.html

Arenal Volcano National Park is found within the Arenal Tilaran Conservation Area located in north-western region of Costa Rica. Inside the park are the Arenal Volcano, Lake Arenal, the Lake Arenal Dam, and another volcano called Cerro Chato or Mount Chato as it has already been inactive for 3500 years. Unlike Cerro Chato, the Arenal Volcano used to be dormant until it had a major eruption in 1968. Since then, there has been constant volcanic activity in the area specifically in the volcano’s Crater C. There is presently lava flow of andesite basaltic composition, gas emissions, and explosions of pyroplastic materials.

While you cannot scale the volcano itself, there are many tours offering you the chance to hike around the base and view this spectacular landmark from every perspective. After a day of hiking in Costa Rica there is nothing better than unwinding at the famous hot springs. Set in acres of primary rainforest, the hot springs offers weary hikers the chance to revitalize in a series of lagoons, each enjoying a constant supply of natural and steamy-hot volcanic water. If action is more your kind of thing, why not try your hand at white-water rafting, horseback riding, caving or even the exhilarating canopy zip-lines. With so many activities in an around the Arenal area, you should be sure to make this a priority stop while hiking in Costa Rica.
