Hey everyone ~ are there certain hours that the trails at El Silencio are open?? My hubby and I plan on doing our own hike, without a guide. We'd like to go in the afternoon, but didn't know if there were certain hours they were open. Thanks for your help!

El Silencio is the only place that is actually open past 4pm (National Park, etc all close at 4pm). When we were last there (just a few weeks ago) they said they are open until 9pm! We haven't gone up there at night yet since the volcano hasn't been very active but they have a spectacular view of Arenal. :-) It's a great place to hike-enjoy!

It is one of the best location to see one of the biggest old lava flows...and also nice little lagoon can be see from the top of El Silencio...it is a nice place to visit...and hopefullly you do not buy a tour...it is way to cheap if you drive yourself there....by a tour is a total ripp off!

No, we're not planning on doing a tour. In this case, we didn't feel it was necessary, and we'll have our own car. We'll save our money for another tour on the trip! Thanks guys! :D

The Arenal 1968 trails, 1 kms before to the National Park is open until 9:00 p.m.. Another good option.
