Our knowledgeable guide will reveal the secrets of this colorful ecosystem, pointing out fascinating flora and fauna along the way. The breathtaking views of the Arenal Volcano peeking through the trees will leave you speechless.
Next, we head to the La Fortuna Waterfall Reserve, where a majestic 210-foot waterfall awaits. Hike 1,640 feet downhill to reach the base of the falls and feel the invigorating spray. Take a refreshing dip in the natural pool formed by the La Fortuna River – a perfect reward for your trek.
