Costa Rica has plenty for the more leisure-focused traveler, with resorts and beaches galore. But another area of travel that Costa Rica absolutely shines is adventure. From canopy walks to meeting sloths, to ziplines and floating down rivers, traveling in this country can go wild. Particularly La Fortuna, with its volcanoes, rivers, and surrounding areas of dense jungle. Costa Rica, and La Fortuna especially, is a place where nature is foremost and can be embraced by the traveler.
La Fortuna
A well-known destination, La Fortuna is in the highlands of north Costa Rica. The downtown square features a stunning garden overlooked by a local church with a tower, a town immersed in the rhythm of nature. Besides the town itself, where locals still shop and thrive, the Arenal Volcano is the main attraction on the horizon. Reaching a peak of 5,358 ft, the minerals left behind by Arenal’s previous eruptions are the source of the lush forest around it—and with that lush forest comes the chance for adventure.
Atop the Canopies of Paradise
Canopy tours are a huge draw to Costa Rica, and La Fortuna especially. This area is full of walkways through the treetops, often allowing the traveler to witness the flora and fauna of a beautifully diverse rainforest. From monkeys to toucans to sloths, many examples of wildlife prefer the canopy—which means a rare chance for the traveler to see these animals in their habitat. Ziplining over the treetops is also a fit for the more adventurous. These lines span from traveling a short distance of 100 ft but can be as extensive as half a mile—sometimes over valleys and rivers.
Waterfalls and Rafting Rivers
Gorges between volcanoes create the ideal vision of paddling down a river in Costa Rica. The traveler will drift on clear waters to see a more intimate side of the rainforests around La Fortuna. With some of the most iconic waterfalls in the world, they are plentiful along some river routes. Then there’s the thrill of whitewater rafting, an adrenaline-pumping adventure done in rougher waters with different skill levels to accommodate different travelers.
La Fortuna, The Fortune, is a highly visited location for its embrace of the surrounding nature. And when it comes to the traveler enjoying themselves to the fullest in La Fortuna, and Costa Rica in general, Costa Rica Dream Adventures helps fill out that itinerary. With all of the adventurous activities like canopy tours and ziplining high up in the forests, and whitewater rafting, they have created a plan for every type of adventurer to Costa Rica.
