Hola! If we do the Arenal park and pay the entrance fee does that also cover the fee for the El Silencio hike? Or are they separate fees?

Hey Eric!
Great question! El Silencio is a separate experience. While the Arenal Volcano National Park is a government-protected site, El Silencio is a private reserve. They are near each other (both are located west of La Fortuna, near Arenal Lake), but the entrance to El Silencio is off Road 142 whereas the entrance to the Arenal Volcano National Park is off the road to El Castillo. Both provide hiking trails around the foothills of the volcano as well as a vehicular trail that permits access to a volcano viewpoint by car. You’ll need to pay the entrance fee at both sites if you wish to tour them both; payment of the entrance fee at one does not permit entry to the other.
Pura vida! 🙂
