La Fortuna Costa Rica - Arenal Volcano Travel Guide | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Welcome to La Fortuna, a charming little town in Costa Rica!
This cute town was founded in the 1930s and it was originally called “El Burio.” However, locals decided to change the name of the city to La Fortuna, which means “fortune” in Spanish, because of the fertility of their lands and the vast variety of tourist attractions it offers.
It is located in San Carlos Canton, nearby the Arenal Volcano, which you can clearly see from the village. Its first eruption happened in 1968 when it destroyed the small town of Tabacón and spared La Fortuna at the same time. Even though this was Costa Rica’s most active volcano during the past few decades, and one of top 10 most active volcanos in the world, since 2010, Arenal has been dormant.
The Arenal Volcano National Park is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are into bird-watching. 850 different bird species can be found here, along with coatis, deer, jaguars, various snakes and white-faced capuchin monkeys.
If you are looking for accommodation in La Fortuna, Selina is our recommendation. This place is ideal for digital nomads. It is located in the center of the town, has a fantastic co-working office, fast internet and plenty of space where you can relax, like comfy hammocks, huts around the bonfire, movie room, library, and outdoor yoga studio. They also have a pool, bar and a restaurant that serves terrific food, but also a shared kitchen where you can cook for yourself.

Power Wheels ATV in La Fortuna Costa Rica! HUGE raindrops!
Power Wheels ATV in La Fortuna was totally unexpected. After we kept hearing from everyone that we had to do an ATV tour in Costa Rica, we squeezed it in and we are so glad that we did! Power Wheels were excellent, the owner was super friendly and picked us up from our hotel, and our guides were not only patient, they were down to earth and playful with our comfort level. It is a must in Costa Rica. It began to rain midway through and it couldn't have been more perfect. The rain drops were huge and refreshing.

TRANSCRIPT
We’re going to take a safari boat ride today down the Penas Blancas river. It’s only a 20 minute drive from Arenal and La Fortuna so this is a great tour for those who are short on time or with families because you get to see a lot of different wildlife. This tour is offered by Jacamar Naturalist Tours, who we’re going to go with so we’re going to show you the tour so let’s go.
Our guides are taking off all the rafts and this is like a local house and the river is right over there so we’re going to go over there and start the tour.
Alright so this is our boat and we have our lovely guide Hugo who’s going to guide us down the river. Ready for it? Let’s go.
This is the Penas Blancas river and what we’re going to see today, well nature is very unpredictable but hopefully some monkeys, sloths and birds. Nature always has something important for us to show so hopefully today will be the day. We’re in the Arenal area and La Fortuna which is like twenty minutes from La Fortuna and specifically the northern region of the Caribbean side of Costa Rica so we’re by Arenal Volcano. Hope we can find some animals this morning and it’s a beautiful morning.
The scenery in the river is really pretty, as you can see like the reflection of the trees in the water, it’s super clean, it’s really green. It’s just a gorgeous river to come and watch wildlife, you feel like you’re in like Jurassic Park almost.
The tour ends up at this local family’s house where we’re going to have some snacks and some drinks. The tour was really nice we saw a lot of good wildlife, it was a great day so it was a really awesome tour to see wildlife really close to La Fortuna and Arenal, if you guys want more information about the tour just click on the links below.
