La Fortuna Vacation Guide

Nestled beneath the active peak of Volcan Arenal, La Fortuna was a small agricutural town before the eruption of the volcano in 1968. The death of 100 people and the destruction of lands at first led to many residents leaving. However, over the course of the next few decades, the volcano's on-going eruptions drew an increasing number of thrill-seeking tourists. Today, La Fortuna has grown into a primarily tourism-based town, acting as the base of operations for volcano and nature related activities.

In addition to volcano watching, activities in La Fortuna include trips to nearby hotsprings, ATV and scooter rentals, a picturesque swimming hole, and the beautiful La Fortuna Waterfall.
