La Fortuna Holidays

Adventure is out there – at the base of the Arenal Volcano to be precise. Nestled in the foothills of Arenal Volcano National Park sits La Fortuna, a small town in the Alajuela province of Costa Rica. Home to natural hot springs, lava fields, a meandering river and waterfalls, it’s not hard to see why La Fortuna holidays always get included in Costa Rica itineraries. The volcano may have stopped spewing its molten lava in 2010, but the well-manicured moonscape it left behind has made it one of the best places to take on Costa Rica’s adrenaline-fuelled adventures. Go hiking, horse riding, ziplining, rafting or kayaking; or take a guided tour to the volcano and surrounding wild rainforest. Watch the world go by at local restaurants and while away afternoons in bubbling hot springs, perfect after a long hike. La Fortuna holidays don’t just serve up endless natural wonders and adventure activities though. This is where you can relax, take stock and savour the energy of this little corner of Costa Rica.
