La Fortuna Unmissables

La Fortuna is centered around the Arenal Volcano, an active stratovolcano that defines the region's topography. This selection features the 70-meter Rio Fortuna Waterfall and the Mistico Hanging Bridges, which provide access to the rainforest canopy. The list includes the 1968 lava flow trails, dedicated observation decks for volcanic viewing, and the naturally heated Tabacón River. These sites highlight the geothermal activity and secondary rainforest ecosystems unique to the Alajuela Province.
