Wash in the replenishing and cold emerald waters of Fortuna Waterfall and walk through the National Park
Arenal Volcano Hike & La Fortuna Waterfall
We’ll head through the jungle, hiking through well-groomed, easy trails that skirt the base of the Arenal Volcano. Your eagle-eyed naturalist guide will point out different species of flora and fauna and teach you about Costa Rica’s nature, culture and history, including information about the volcanic explosion of 1968.
This area was devastated by the lava flow and has since re-grown into a lush forest with great biodiversity. When you reach both of the observation platforms you will see magnificent views of the impressive Arenal Volcano, the pristine Lake Arenal, and the extinct volcano Cerro Chato! This is the closest you can get to the base of the Arenal Volcano and the perfect vantage point to take remarkable photos.
After your adventure at the National Park, you will go to lunch at the El Salto Hunters & Gatherers restaurant for a full all you can eat buffet. Then head to the La Fortuna Waterfall! When you reach the entrance, you will have time to change into your bathing suit in case you want to cool off under the waterfall. This is sure to be a good workout as there are over 300 steps to get to the down to the waterfall, and over 300 to get back up! When you reach the bottom, you’ll have an opportunity to take lots of pictures and swim in the cool waters of one of the largest and most breathtaking waterfalls in Arenal and then head back to your hotel.
