Hotels in La Fortuna

The town of La Fortuna serves as the lively gateway to Arenal Volcano National Park, where the iconic cone of the volcano dominates the horizon. Visitors come here for the hot springs, like Tabacón and Baldi, and to hike the lava trails of 1968 or the hanging bridges at Mistico Park. Days are filled with adventures to the La Fortuna Waterfall, wildlife spotting on the Río Frío, and exploring the Venado Caves.

This destination is ideal for adventure-seeking families, couples, and solo travelers, with most activities centered around nature. The town itself offers a convenient, social base with restaurants and tour operators, while the roads leading toward the volcano and Lake Arenal provide more secluded, scenic lodging options. You'll fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport near San José; the drive to La Fortuna takes about three hours, often by shuttle or rental car.
