A little more attention
to the place.
Tourism La Fortuna is an independent editorial guide to La Fortuna and the Arenal area in Costa Rica. Our focus is the connection between forest days, town life and practical travel choices.
We use primary visitor, park and community sources for factual context. We distinguish those facts from our own planning suggestions, and direct readers to the relevant organization for changing access, prices and arrangements.
Who speaks in this guide?
We do not invent contributors, interviews, local residence or personal visits. Community organizations speak for their own work through the sources we link. A photographer’s image does not imply a partnership or an endorsement of this site.
Photographs with context
Each selected photograph has a recorded creator, source and license. The town view is historical, from December 2001. The main waterfall image is Derek Ramsey’s seven-frame stitched panorama from June 2007; the mobile version is a separate crop. No real-place image is generated.
