What if your next great adventure was waiting beneath the shadow of a volcano? In La Fortuna, nature doesn’t just surround you - it stuns you. Towering above the lush northern plains, the perfectly conical Arenal Volcano is the region’s undisputed icon, inviting you to explore a world shaped by fire and rainforest. But it’s not just about the views—it’s about how it feels to soak in thermal hot springs under the stars, trek through dense jungle trails teeming with life, or catch your breath as a howler monkey calls out from the canopy. 

 

La Fortuna itself buzzes with a laid-back energy that draws in adventurers and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re ziplining above treetops, chasing waterfalls like the thundering La Fortuna Falls, or simply enjoying a local meal with the volcano as your backdrop, this is where Costa Rica’s wild beauty meets soul-soothing luxury. So ask yourself - how do you want to experience Arenal? 

Stand in awe of one of Costa Rica’s most iconic landmarks. The trails here lead you through lava fields and lush forest, with glimpses of wildlife and panoramic volcano views. It’s a must for anyone wanting to feel the raw power of nature. 

Descend a staircase into the jungle and be rewarded with the thundering sight of this 70-meter waterfall. Bring your swimsuit - the cool plunge pool below is irresistible on a hot day. 

This small private reserve is a hidden gem, perfect for spotting wildlife like tree frogs, butterflies, and sloths up close. The guided night tours are magical and full of surprises. 

For adrenaline-seekers, the Class II–III rapids of the Balsa River are ideal. Expect splashes, laughs, and stunning scenery along the way.
