ARENAL VOLCANO

LA FORTUNA

A town with lots of natural attractions to share an extraordinarily rich rainforest and the Arenal Volcano.

What to bring: hiking shoes, poncho, bug spray, camera, swimwear and binoculars.

Tour includes: transportation, entrance fees, lunch and guide services.

Discover the splendor of the primary rainforest and the imposing “vistas” of the Arenal Volcano, while leisurely strolling through the hanging bridges. The walk through this vegetation and the perspective observation from the bridges will give you the whole picture of the forest levels and stages. Views from the hanging bridges look directly into the canopy level, an area impossible to watch from the ground due to height and the lush vegetation from the middle sector. The trail makes a loop and has six suspension bridges to enhance the rainforest. In between bridges the path also is highly active with fauna and flora that has a great natural history. From medicinal plants, ornamental plants to lumber trees are all part of the flora discovered from this experience. The naturalist guide also manages to look up into the forest to look for fauna, birds, monkeys and sloths, just to mention, these are just part of the animals found in the park.
After a wonderful experience, immerse yourself in the thermal hot springs, something that will linger in your memory forever. The hot spring waters are geothermally heated by volcanic activity, turns to be both relaxing and medicinal. This type of water is used in SPA clinics in Europe to help with muscle injuries and back problems. Imagine the amount of wellness it can bring to you, visiting the hot springs.
