La Fortuna Costa Rica - Arenal Volcano Travel Guide | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Welcome to La Fortuna, a charming little town in Costa Rica!
This cute town was founded in the 1930s and it was originally called “El Burio.” However, locals decided to change the name of the city to La Fortuna, which means “fortune” in Spanish, because of the fertility of their lands and the vast variety of tourist attractions it offers.
It is located in San Carlos Canton, nearby the Arenal Volcano, which you can clearly see from the village. Its first eruption happened in 1968 when it destroyed the small town of Tabacón and spared La Fortuna at the same time. Even though this was Costa Rica’s most active volcano during the past few decades, and one of top 10 most active volcanos in the world, since 2010, Arenal has been dormant.
The Arenal Volcano National Park is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are into bird-watching. 850 different bird species can be found here, along with coatis, deer, jaguars, various snakes and white-faced capuchin monkeys.
If you are looking for accommodation in La Fortuna, Selina is our recommendation. This place is ideal for digital nomads. It is located in the center of the town, has a fantastic co-working office, fast internet and plenty of space where you can relax, like comfy hammocks, huts around the bonfire, movie room, library, and outdoor yoga studio. They also have a pool, bar and a restaurant that serves terrific food, but also a shared kitchen where you can cook for yourself.
Enjoy the video!!!

HOW TO GET TO SOLENTINAME ISLANDS
To get to solentiname Islands in Nicaragua, you just need to take a boat ride from a town called San Carlos. The San Carlos town its right on the corner of the Lake Nicaragua and the San Juan river. The Solentiname islands are the most beautiful islands in Nicaragua. If you ever visit Nicaragua don't miss these islands they very isolated and the few people that live there are wonderful!!! not much for tourism away from the hassle and bustle of other places in Nicaragua!!!

Costa Rica real estate land for sale - Finca Rio Nosara, Nosara Costa Rica
In the quaint village of Santa Teresita near the town of Nosara, an unassuming entrance provides access to a long, tree-lined drive, passing a very comfortable one-bedroom guesthouse before reaching its ultimate destination: an exquisitely-designed and built 4500-square foot riverside home with picturesque views overlooking colorful gardens and the Rio Nosara.
This Costa Rican-inspired two-bedroom, two-bathroom rancher crafted from concrete and pachote wood thoughtfully incorporates every imaginable detail in its custom design to create a luxurious haven amidst the 44 hectares of natural beauty upon which it sits. Highlights of the home include a spacious master suite walk-in closet, interior dining area for 12, and expansive covered outdoor areas, including a wrap around deck, dining space for 20 overlooking the river and beautiful gardens, and secluded lounge areas on either side of the patio area.
Mature tropical dry forest accented with towering old-growth trees makes up about half of the sprawling estate, which backs on to the Nosara forest reserve and 1.7 kms of frontage on the Nosara River, providing abundant wild life viewings. There is also a 60-year old banana plantation and a recently-planted teak stand. The other half of the ranch consists of income-producing fields which are historically are leased out for rice and cattle farming.
Priced to move, this farm would make an ideal equestrian facility or executive retreat, and also lends itself to subdividing for resale or development. Its unspoiled natural beauty provides absolute tranquility and yet the ranch is conveniently located five minutes from the Nosara airport which services the international airports in both Liberia and San Jose, as well as other tourism centres in the region. The current upgrading of the coastal highway will also make for easier and faster access by car.
