Photo: The desolated village of Arenal, with a main street
paved by lava, was covered a few years later when Costa Rica's largest hydroelectric project, the Lake Arenal Dam, created an extensive water reservoir.
As Bali's second tallest peak after Mount Agung, Mount Batur is more accessible and favoured
by mountain cyclists for its combination of
paved roads and exciting off - road terrain of gravelly to ruggedly frozen
lava trails.
