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.

Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
La Fortuna,Costa Rica
La Fortuna is a rural city located in San Carlos, in the province of Alajuela, Costa Rica.
La Fortuna has the airport which is nearest to the Arenal Volcano, though many visitors also arrive via automobile, to the resorts and hotels in La Fortuna, Castillo, Palma, Monteverde, or Tilaran. Arenal is often cited by scientists as being in the top ten or top 20 of the world's most active volcanoes.La Fortuna is less than 10 km from the peak of Arenal and less than 20 km from the entrance to Arenal Volcano National Park (the entrance is west of the peak, whereas La Fortuna is east of the peak).
Other than the volcano, La Fortuna has tourist attractions such as the La Catarata de la Fortuna, a waterfall that falls from a height of 70 meters, several resorts with natural hot springs temperate enough to bathe in, other day spa services, and day-trips which involve horseback riding, whitewater rafting, hanging bridges, a sky tram, zip-lines, mountain bike, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, and ATV or dirt bike rentals, butterfly farm and Venado Cavern tours, bungee jumping, Laguna Cedeno, El Salto Swimming Hole, and canyoneering.
La Fortuna has a medic station but serious injuries require a medivac (or long travel on roadways), a police station (and another is on the way to El Tapon), gas station, 3 banks, 3 groceries, restaurants (in addition to those in the resorts), post office, and hardware store.
Arenal Volcano Costa Rica
Positioned within Costa Rica's fertile northern lowlands, the Arenal Volcano is an unavoidable presence while traveling within this part of the country. It is tall and imposing and has a reputation that precedes itself. Arenal's perfectly symmetrical shape makes it a sightseer's dream, while its abundance of outdoor activities makes it an easy place to check things off your must-do in Costa Rica list.
Until 2010, it was Costa Rica's most active volcano. Much to the enjoyment of its visitors, Arenal spewed enormous amounts of lava, gas and ash on a regular basis. That eruptive cycle -- which began with the infamous eruption of 1968 -- ended recently. In October 2010, Arenal entered into an indeterminate resting phase. For the time being, visitors will be unable to watch the much-loved explosions, although that could change within a matter of months or years. Travelers to Arenal will still enjoy its bountiful sights, sounds and activities— there are mountains to be hiked, lakes to be fished and rivers to be floated. As one of the country's most scenic and accessible areas, it is a requisite stop on any tour of Costa Rica.
As Arenal's ultimate travel resource, this site is dedicated to providing you with information about the Arenal Volcano and the surrounding area. It's our hope that with the tools and services we offer, you'll be able to plan a fun and memorable adventure to Costa Rica.
You can follow individual links to learn more about La Fortuna, Lake Arenal, and other volcanoes in Costa Rica. If you want more guidance on where else to travel in Costa Rica, just visit our Costa Rica Destinations Guide. It's simple and easy to use.
Lake Arenal
In many ways, Lake Arenal is just as monumental as the volcano that rises above its eastern shoreline. With a surface of over 33 sq mi (85 sq km) and a depth of some 200 ft (60 m), it is Costa Rica's largest landlocked body of water. As such, it provides ample opportunities for activities such as windsurfing, fishing, boating and more.

TRAVEL VLOG: COSTA RICA | La Fortuna, Arenal Volcano & Monteverde
JackTravels to: Costa Rica!!!
After many years, my best friends and I planned a trip to Costa Rica. Many people wonder... why Costa Rica which is located right in the heart of Central America. Without a doubt my friends, Costa Rica is one of the world’s most diverse ecosystem and has the largest zip line in Latin America! Similarly, the country has many activities to offer such as zip lining, para sailing, rafting, hiking a volcano, enjoying the natural hot spring, kayaking, horse riding, and more. This is one of the reasons why we chose to explore Costa Rica and it’s natural beauties.
Another reason is that, Costa Rica is very dedicated to many ranches with wildlife conservation such as this Toucan Rescue Ranch. This is where abused animals, injured animals, and more are treated with love and compassion during their healing process which can last many months. During that time, volunteers and researchers come together to care for the animal and treat their injuries. These ranches are the fire that continues to protect and conserve the diverse wildlife throughout Costa Rica. I am also an advocate of animal and wildlife conservation which placed Costa Rica at a top place near my heart.
Furthermore, Costa Rica reminds me of Thailand. Having lush mountains, tropic rainforests, and beautiful beaches... This magical heaven truly resembled my home away from home. Additionally since I can speak Spanish (after spending 3 months volunteering in Mexico and 8 years studying) I became more curious about how Different is the Costa Rican accent compared to those of other Spanish speaking countries such as Mexico. Without a doubt, more of my curiosity provoked me to book an airline plane ticket to come explore it myself.
Here are the places I visited in Costa Rica:
-San José
-volcán irazu
-Toucan Rescue Ranch
-La fortuna
-Arenal Volcano
-Hot springs and white water rafting near Arenal
- hiking Arenal volcano
- Arenal lake
- monteverde
- Cloudforest (zip lining and hiking)
-Jacó (beach and nightlife)
-Quepos
-Manuel Antonio (beach and Park)
-Playa espadilla

Explorando el Volcán Arenal en Costa Rica La Fortuna de San Carlos (Episodio 4)
Una Aventura por el Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal en La Fortuna de San Carlos Costa Rica.
El volcán arenal es uno de los volcanes más activos de Costa Rica. Es tambien considerado como uno de los volcanes más bonitos del mundo por su forma de cono perfecto. Este volcán tiene una altura de 1.670 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
El ascenso es permitido solo en las faldas del volcán y está prohibido escalar más arriba pues es considerado peligroso ya que es un area protejida donde se encuentran culebras venenosas.
Su último período de actividad fué el 29 de Julio de 1968 y desde esa fecha emite gases y vapores de agua. Despues de la erupción el volcán cambió la ecología de la región por que los rios que se usaban para regar las plantaciones ahora eran rios con agua muy caliente y con gran cantidad de minerales. Algunas familia del área aprovecharon para hacer piscinas de aguas termales y asi el poblado de la Fortuna de San Carlos se convirtió en uno de los lugares favoritos de los locales y visitantes por sus aguas consideradas curativas. Los residentes del área dicen haber experimentado mejoría en dolores musculares y reumáticos.
Las tribus precolombinas miraban al volcán con admiración y respeto, creian que el volcán era sagrado. Los indígenas malekus que habitan la región contaban que en su interior habitaba el Dios del Fuego.
Se calcula que el volcán Arenal tiene 7.000 años. Existen aproximadamente 112 volcanes en el territorio Costarricence. Actualmente, cinco volcanes aún permanecen activos, incluyendo el Poás, el Irazú, el Turrialba, el Arenal, y el Rincón de la Vieja.
