Here are the must-see attractions in La Fortuna, —and why visiting Choyín Río Termal is the perfect way to end your day.

Visit La Fortuna Waterfall

No trip to La Fortuna is complete without witnessing the stunning La Fortuna Waterfall, which plunges 70 meters (230 feet) into a lush green canyon. Visitors can hike down a scenic trail to reach the base and swim in the refreshing natural pool below. The trail is relatively short (about 15 minutes down), but be prepared for some steps—and breathtaking views. For those seeking an extra thrill, Arenal Mundo Aventura offers an exhilarating ziplining experience right over the waterfall, giving you a bird’s-eye view of the stunning scenery below. It’s an unforgettable way to experience the beauty of the area!

Hike Around Arenal Volcano

Arenal Volcano is the crown jewel of the area and once one of the most active volcanoes in the world. While the volcano itself is currently in a resting phase, its surrounding Arenal Volcano National Park offers several easy-to-moderate hiking trails. Walk through ancient lava fields, observe wildlife, and get stunning views of the volcano and Lake Arenal.

Explore La Fortuna Town

La Fortuna town itself is small but full of life. Take a leisurely stroll through the streets lined with souvenir shops, local eateries, smoothie bars, and friendly locals ready to offer suggestions. It’s a great place to try authentic Costa Rican food—don’t miss out on gallo pinto for breakfast or a hearty casado for lunch.
