Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    2 h 30 min Admission included

    The Peñas Blancas River is fed by the pristine waters of several private cloud forest reserves in Arenal. It is surrounded by lush rainforest, natural volcanic hot springs, waterfalls, and forested canyons that measure upwards of 700 feet (213 m) in height. This river provides a scenic adventure perfect for wildlife viewing in La Fortuna. It's the easiest and most unique way to take in the area's spectacular scenery, learn about its natural history from your guide, and simply enjoy a serene day immersed in nature.

  2. La Fortuna Waterfall

    1 h 30 min Admission included

    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. Your visit directly benefits the local community, as 100% of the entrance fee goes towards social projects like schools, nutritional centers, and infrastructure.
