Overview

Located in a spectacular rainforest and over 70 meters high, La Fortuna River Waterfall is an attraction hard to miss. This waterfall shares its territory with the Arenal-Monteverde protected area, hosting a large amount of wildlife, forests, and aquifers. The entrance fees are used by an NGO to promote the well-being and development of the community.

What you will be doing

Waterfall hike

We have the option of observing the beautiful waterfall from the viewpoint or through a 300-meter walk down on 530 steps with comfortable rest areas. Along the way, your guide will accompany you, describing interesting geological aspects of the rock formations and the history of the high basalt columns that gave rise to this waterfall. The trail ends right in front of the imposing waterfall, with ideal spots for amazing photographs.
