The bustling base town for Arenal Volcano, surrounded by hot springs, hanging bridges, and adventure parks. A short drive away, the La Fortuna Waterfall drops 70 meters into a swimmable jungle pool. The town itself is compact and walkable, with tour desks and sodas around a church square facing the volcano.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
