During the first weekend of our home stay in La Paz, we took a 2 day trip to La Fortuna, home to one of the active volcanoes in Costa Rica called Arenal. Living in the shadow of an active volcano was an eye-opening experience. These two days were packed with activities like visiting the hot springs, going horseback riding around the volcano and a hike to a beautiful waterfall. We even had time to hit up a Costa Rican discoteca and learned how to salsa.
