Safety Advisory
from the Cámara de Turismo La Fortuna
(Tourism Chamber of La Fortuna) and by I.C.T.
For your own protection, seek
information and make
reservations only with tour information offices, hotels, and cabins, and
NOT with guides on the street.
Resident, José
Soto H., relates what happened on a day back in 1968 at Arenal Volcano:
"I always went very
early in the morning to take food to my brothers working on the other side of Tabacon
River. Walking through the woods, I always heard a plane. It was my clock.
That day, I heard the sound of what I thought was the plane, but it was stronger.
I thought I was late because I had not reached the place where I usually heard the
plane. Then I started running so my brothers would not get mad at me.
"When
I crossed Río Tabacon, I felt it hotter than usual, but I did not stop. Reaching
the place where my brothers were working, they said to me that they were frightened.
They asked if I knew something about the volcano since they had heard a very strong
noise coming from that direction. We all turned back, running toward our house.
All was demolished. There was no house, and our mother and father were
dead."
You may feel confident in engaging our guided tour services.
