Arenal volcano in Costa Rica is the most user friendly in the world. For starters it erupts every 15 minutes or so, and has done for years. So you know it's going to perform for you. It erupts rather well- not particularly threatening, but satisfyingly pyrotechnic. Like a Kiss concert.
But the best thing about Arenal is that it looks like a proper volcano. The kind that a child would draw. Big triangular mountain with the top sliced off? Check. Fiery bright orange glow emanating from within? Absolutely. Belching long plume of smoke? Yes indeed. River of bright red superheated lava trickling improbably down the side? No problemo..
It's absolutely, utterly, exactly what you expected. Which is just what you want from a devastating force of nature.
