Guayabo to Volcano Arenal
The theme for today's ride is volcanoes. The route traverses the base of both the Miravalle and Tenorio volcanoes. At the high point of the day the team will be treated to an incredible vista of Lake Arenal - a breathtaking lake hidden within Costa Rica, with an active volcano in the background.

The camp for tonight is located at the base of Volcano Arenal. From the camp the enormous power of volcanic activity can be felt and heard. The volcano has been in constant minor eruption for the last 40 years and the display of smoke and lava is a sight to behold.
