The Cerro Chato Lagoon is an untouched, dazzling lagoon that lies at the top of a smaller dormant volcano, close to the Arenal Volcano. The Arenal Nature Conservancy Park & Gardens is a private park, which is the closest property to the Cerro Chato Lagoon. The 400 acre property has quickly become a favourite tourist spot, as it offers breath-taking hiking trails and a lot more along with the spectacular view.
Once you enter the ANC Park & Gardens area, you embark on an immensely scenic hike up one of the trails, that lead up to the lagoon. As you go higher, the view keeps getting better. You’ll be able to see the Arenal Volcano in all its might, and the rainforest as you go higher. Eventually, you will be greeted by a once in a lifetime view of the San Carlos valley in all its grandeur.
After you scale your way up to the top, you can take a dip in the calm waters of the lagoon, or simply sit back and marvel at the sight in front of you- a picturesque lagoon, overlooking a valley and rainforests with a volcano behind it all. Sounds magnificent, doesn’t it? You can then begin your descent into the Green Lagoon Lodge. As soon as you enter the Green Lagoon Lodge, you can go for a quick shower and enjoy a hearty lunch by the pool.
When you have had a great time at the lodge, you can begin your descent back down, or take a cab back to your hotel. On the way back, you can look at the numerous pictures you have clicked, because if you have a camera, there is no way you won’t be stopping many times to click away!
