About

Costa Rica is famous for its abundant wildlife, flourishing forests, and varied terrain. Nowhere can you see that more than around La Fortuna. The area was once dedicated solely to agriculture and the extraction of rubber. Now it is one of the country’s most important destinations for tourism and conservation. For animal lovers, close encounters are not hard to come by. Just stay close to the trees in Sloth’s Territory, keep your eyes on the sky at Proyecto Asis, or take to the Bogarin Trail to get face to face with Mother Nature’s exotic species including sloths and toucans! Thrill seekers are treated to an array of adventure sports here in La Fortuna. Weaving chasms, cascading waterfalls, and the Arenal white-water rapids provide the perfect setting to go ziplining, canyoning, rafting, and more! After all that, it’s time to wind down at some of the gems of the Alajuela Province. Hot springs and thermal pools are scattered along the Tabacón River. These natural spas are sure to bring a soothing and peaceful end to an action-packed day.
