You might have just arrived at the airport in San Jose or might be leaving the capital after enjoying it for some time. In either case, traveling from San Jose to La Fortuna will be a refreshing journey into the thick green of Costa Rica from the modern capital. The distance from La Fortuna from San Jose is 80 miles (130 km) and both private car and shared shuttle rides take around three hours without stopping.
Aside from the comfort and convenience of riding door to door, one of the benefits of taking a private car from San Jose to La Fortuna is sightseeing! There's the delectable Britt Coffee Tour, where you can learn about the history of Costa Rica’s delicious coffee, how it is made, and even how to prepare it at home through a guided tasting. From this delightful experience, you can move on to a nice trip into the jungle. Los Chorros Waterfalls are located in the heart of a lush park and are reachable on a walk along a jungle trail. Or wander among tropical plants from around the world at the Else Kientzler Garden.
And in between these stops, be prepared to be amazed by the fantastic scenery the roads of Costa Rica offer before your driver drops you off at your accommodation in La Fortuna.
Located in Costa Rica's Northern Highlands, La Fortuna is one the best destinations to enjoy Costa Rica's natural beauty. The lush rainforest climbing the slopes of Arenal Volcano feels worlds away from the bustle of San Jose, even though it's just a 2.5-hour trip.
The heart of La Fortuna is a vibrant park with colorful gardens with a white church in the center. In these streets around the central plaza, there are local restaurants where you can try Costa Rican food, tour operators in case you’d like to set out into the jungle, and many shops.
While the town is charming, what makes La Fortuna so special is the Arenal Volcano, which dominates every view from every angle. Standing at a lofty 5,358 feet (1,633 meters) above sea level, it really is the star of the town. La Fortuna is also famous for its hot springs and waterfalls. As a result of an eruption of another volcano called Chato, the nearby La Fortuna Waterfall was formed, and is a very popular attraction. Hot springs are scattered throughout La Fortuna. With temperatures ranging from 30 to 50 °C, they're the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking. With its small-town vibes and tropical surroundings, La Fortuna is guaranteed to leave you mesmerized.
Traveling from San Jose to La Fortuna is a dream trip for many. Follow these travel tips to make sure yours doesn’t turn into a nightmare.
Because of its tropical climate, La Fortuna sees a lot of rain. Bring good shoes that can stand against the mud, water, and puddles. We also recommend having a lightweight rain jacket or poncho for sudden showers. Packing a waterproof sunscreen is a lifesaver when you are enjoying the hot springs of La Fortuna as the sun can get strong during the day despite the rains.
La Fortuna sits smack in the middle of Costa Rica's jungle. The wet weather makes it prime real estate for mosquitos, so expect to be pestered. Mosquito-proof clothing is a good idea, but repellent is almost a necessity. Local travel guides recommend ParaKito natural bug repellent.
The Costa Rican colón is the local currency, but US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas. Keep some cash with you for small purchases and visits to local markets or shops that don't accept credit cards.
Whether it’s your first time in Costa Rica or your 100th, there’s always something new to see or do. Use the drive from San Jose to La Fortuna as an opportunity to explore more of this beautiful country and make your trip even more memorable.
There are several ways to get from San Jose to La Fortuna including taking a bus, driving, booking a private door-to-door car, or a shuttle transfer. Which one is best for you depends on your preferences.
Taking a public bus from San Jose to La Fortuna is the cheapest option. The tickets can be purchased for 2,600 colones which is around $5 US. However, the bus does have several drawbacks. The bus is slower, taking around 4 hours to get to La Fortuna. Also, tickets are not available online so you'll need to buy them at the station. The bus departs only once a day at 8:40 AM, so you should be at the station an hour early to make sure you secure a ticket. Finally, the ride can be a bit uncomfortable considering the bus can be filled with up to 70 people and goes through hot and humid conditions.
Taking a shared shuttle to La Fortuna is the best balance between budget and comfort. It's faster than the bus, taking just 3 hours, and you'll be in a comfortable air-conditioned van with 7 people rather than 70. The shuttle departs at 7:45 AM and 1:00 PM, so you can travel in the afternoon instead. And to relieve a lot of stress, you can book tickets in advance online. Prices range from $42-$80 US depending on the season and demand.
If you plan to travel around Costa Rica and like being in complete control, you can rent a car and drive yourself from San Jose to La Fortuna. The drive takes between two to three hours depending on the traffic in San Jose. It might take longer than what your GPS shows you since you'll probably want to make some stops and will be driving more carefully than the local drivers who are used to the sharp turns and curves of the roads.
The most convenient and relaxing way to travel from San Jose to La Fortuna is by booking a door-to-door private car service like Daytrip. You don't have to stress about driving on foreign roads or catching (or missing!) a bus, and instead can just sit back and enjoy the views as you ride door to door. And unlike public transportation, you leave whenever you want and can stop for sightseeing. It's still economical, especially if you're traveling in a group with prices starting from $32 US per person.
After smoothly traveling from San Jose, there is a tropical town filled with things to do when you get to La Fortuna. La Fortuna offers countless activities, hikes, walks, and nature excursions that will make you consider becoming a tropical hermit.
Although Arenal Volcano will watch over you throughout your stay in La Fortuna, you cannot miss exploring the volcano closer. Hike the Arenal Volcano National Park or Arenal 1968 Trail, each of which will take you over decades-old lava flows to get closer to the volcano. Another trail to take is called Mirador El Silencio which will take you to an almost eye level with the volcano’s peak. If you’d like to see the volcano from another perspective, you can also visit the Arenal Observatory. The observation deck offers some fantastic views for anyone with limited mobility.
After a day of hiking, spending a long afternoon in the hot springs of La Fortuna is a once in a lifetime experience that no one should miss. The heart of La Fortuna, Arenal Volcano, heats the springs with its thermal energy. There are several different ones with varying temperatures so you can choose the one that suits you. Resorts such as EcoTermales and Tabacon are among the most popular.
16 bridges are scattered around the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park, which gives you a perfect vantage to watch the birds, snakes, monkeys, and other park inhabitants as they go about their jungle business. The bridges are high off the ground and can swing in the wind, so this might not be the best activity if you're afraid of heights.
A really unique thing to do in La Fortuna is to take a night tour of some of the parks. Experiencing the jungle and observing its exotic animals at night is an entirely different experience than exploring during the day. Much of Arenal's wildlife is nocturnal, so there's a whole other world to get lost in.
Thanks to its location, Costa Rica has a tropical climate all year round and experiences only two seasons; the dry season and the wet season. The dry season, from December to April, gets the most sunshine. But it's also the high season and is when most people visit. The wet season is also called the rainy or the green season and lasts from May to November. Both seasons are great for discovering La Fortuna if you plan accordingly.
The wet season is cooler with sunny mornings and rainy afternoons - perfect for taking an early hike and then relaxing in the hot springs. In mid-July there's a break in the rain that locals call “el veranillo de San Juan”. If you visit La Fortuna during this period, you will enjoy the gorgeous summer weather. Both seasons are warm enough to have a tropical getaway with temperatures varying between 20 to 25°C.

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“Really great site, I highly recommend it if you’re looking for long transport. You’re paying for convenience and being able to book on your own time, in advance and not have to wait for public transit. We booked 3 rides in Costa Rica: San Jose to La Fortuna, La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio, Manuel Antonio to San Jose. The communication before and during the trip was great, very easy process. Our driver for the first and last ride was Cesar Matamoros, he was great! He spoke English and Spanish and was very knowledgeable about the country. We learned a lot from him! Our other driver for the second trip was named Jason and he mainly spoke Spanish. We added a stop during the ride at a beautiful garden and he waited for us while we explored. And he added a bonus stop for us to the crocodile bridge!”
