Located within a spectacular tropical rainforest with a height of more than 70 meters (230 ft.), the Río Fortuna Waterfall is an attraction you don’t want to miss during your visit to La Fortuna. This waterfall shares its territory with the Arenal-Monteverde protected area, hosting a large amount of wildlife, forests, and aquifers. It is also important to emphasize that the entrance fees are used by an NGO to promote the well-being and development of the community. We have the option of observing the beautiful waterfall from the viewpoint or through a 300-meter (0.2 miles) 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. Then you can immerse your body and soul in its refreshing waters.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: Bilingual guide, entrance fee, water bottle, fruits.
