Arenal Volcano is one of Costa Rica's most iconic natural landmarks and was active for much of the 20th century. Located close to La Fortuna, the volcano dominates the surrounding landscape and can often be seen from the roads and natural areas nearby, including from parts of the Ecotermales Fortuna grounds on clear days. The volcanic activity is what heats the geothermal waters used by the spa.

Question 8

What should I bring to Ecotermales Fortuna?

Pack a swimsuit, a change of dry clothes, sandals or flip-flops, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Towels can usually be rented on-site. The surrounding rainforest environment means light rain is always possible, so a small waterproof bag for your belongings is also a practical addition.
