Located in Peñas Blancas, Chateau Arenal is in a rural area and near a boardwalk/promenade. While the natural beauty of Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano National Park can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Costa Rica Sky Adventures. Butterfly Conservatory and Wellness Park Costa Rica are also worth visiting. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and ziplining nearby. Visit our Peñas Blancas travel guide
