| DWaggoner | Arenal Date Climbed: Jan 23, 2010 | |
| Hiked around it on my way to Cerra Chato. You can only hike around the base. It was more active than usual when I went in Jan '10. The observatory has a good lookout point. | ||

| Tom Waggoner | Hike Around | |
| I hiked past Arenal on my way to Cerro Chato and the waterfall in Fortuna. I happened to see lava at night when I stopped up at lookup point. No summit bagging on this peak. | ||

| Although you're not allowed to climb it because it is 'very active' the Arenal wasn't that active at the end of April '09, (only saw some lava rocks rolling down at night) but I had a nice walk through the forest at its bottom with plenty of wildlife. | ||

| Beautiful place. Climbed to Cerro Chato next to Arenal and also walked around the lava flows. Heard some crazy explosions and saw lots of smoke but no lava :( Also went to La Catarata de la Fortuna (waterfall) and it was beautiful! | ||

| oneoftheluckyones | Route Climbed: West Slopes Date Climbed: May 2003 | |
| Not actually a "summit," they don't actually allow hiking all the way up volcano that's still shooting out fiery lava rocks... but a pleasant rainforest hike along the slopes, with monkeys, etc. to a clearing where, after waiting about 15-30 minutes, we started to see the fiery rocks tumbling down the side of the volcano... very cool, one of the must-sees in Costa Rica. | ||
