Review:
La Fortuna is a charming town situated at the base of the Arenal Volcano, which has been erupting with some regularity since 1968 and is the most active volcano in Costa Rica. The area is most well-known for its natural wonders and nature adventures. Relaxing in soothing hot springs, visiting the dazzling La Fortuna Waterfall, and swimming in the gentle waters of the Arenal Lake are among the town’s highlights. Adventure activities include whitewater rafting, tubing, canyoneering, mountain biking, horseback riding, ATV riding, bird watching, kayaking, zip lining, fishing, and fly-boarding, among many others. Highlights include hiking the Arenal Volcano, trekking through the Venado Caves, and exploring the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge.
