La Fortuna is one of the best family friendly destinations in Costa Rica with its volcano, rainforests, hot springs, wildlife, and waterfalls. I would highly recommend a stay here on any Costa Rican vacation – whether it be for 2 days or a week or more. This article details 3 days in La Fortuna, our itinerary and all of the best things to do, where to stay and tips for visiting with your family. If you want to explore nature, relax at the hot springs or experience a new culture, read on for full guide on visiting this beautiful destination.

La Fortuna Basics

La Fortuna itself is a small town in the Alajuela Province of northern central Costa Rica. The town itself is not reason for the over 1 million of tourists that come to this area every year. La Fortuna is a tourist hub to visit the rainforests, waterfalls, hot springs, Arenal Volcano, and other outdoor adventures surrounding it. This area of Costa Rica is warm and humid throughout the year and has more rain throughout the year than Costa Rica’s pacific coast. December-April is the drier season, with better chances of clear volcano views. However, it can and does rain year round.

Along with the natural beauty, La Fortuna is also a great destination for seeing some of Costa Rica’s famous wildlife. You might be able to see sloths, monkeys, tropical birds, iguanas and other reptiles, colorful tree frogs and coatis.

La Fortuna has options at several price points – there are budget hostels and high end luxury hotels. There are free or cheap hikes or pricey guided nature walks and other adventure activities. This is one of my favorite places in Costa Rica and one I would recommend everyone see. If you just have enough time for one location in Costa Rica – I think this should be it. There is such a diversity in activities and nature to explore, all in a relatively compact area.

How do I get to La Fortuna?

Both of Costa Rica’s large international airports – San Jose (SJO) and Liberia (LIR) – are equal driving time from La Fortuna. You can fly into either and then continue to La Fortuna by road. The drive time is around 2.5-3.5 hours depending on traffic, rain and stops. I would recommend renting a car. It provides the most flexibility, especially for families. If you do not want to drive, there are both private and shared transfers available from the airport to La Fortuna. Once you are in La Fortuna, many of the organized tours and activities have an option to pick you up from your hotel or the La Fortuna town center.

How long to spend in La Fortuna

We actually spent only 2.5 days in La Fortuna and focused just on some of the highlights. We were able to see waterfalls, hanging bridges, hot springs, wildlife and did a volcano hike. I would recommend visiting La Fortuna for anywhere between 2-5 days, depending on your travel style and itinerary. 2-3 days is enough to see some of the highlights. If you want to travel at a more relaxed pace with multiple chances of seeing wildlife or catching a glimpse of the volcano – I'd recommend 4-5 days. We were visiting both La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio on our trip and spend more days in Manuel Antonio. If I were to do it again, I would spend more time in La Fortuna. We ended up getting lucky with the weather and had clear skies without any rain for our entire time there. However, La Fortuna is in a rainforest and rainy afternoons can delay your plans. Keeping a more flexible schedule is ideal.

Where should I stay?

There are three possibilities of areas to stay in the La Fortuna area.

You can stay in the town of La Fortuna. This area is great for people who want to walk to multiple different restaurants and shops. it is also great if you do not have a car and are relying on shuttles/transfers for different activities. There are also multiple affordable accommodation options in the town. Three places I would recommend if you wanted to stay in town are: La Fortuna Lodge, Hotel Monte Real, and Hotel Alicia.

You can also stay along route 142 between the Arenal Volcano and the town La Fortuna. Along this road, you will find most of the hotels and resort properties that have hot springs. If you have the budget for it, this is the area I would recommend getting accommodations. We stayed in Los Lagos Hotel Spa & Resort and loved our time there. It is one of the more budget-friendly and definitely family-friendly hot springs resorts. Along with fairly large sized rooms, you get free breakfast and access to all of the resort’s pools. There are 11 outdoor pools, 8 of which are natural hot spring pools, there is a children’s pool, multiple hot tubs, waterslides and a pool restaurant. There are also free hiking and nature trails you can explore. There are several activities like zip-lining and horseback riding that are available on property for an extra charge. Multiple spots around the resort also have an absolutely stunning view of the Arenal volcano. Other resorts in this area I would recommend are Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Paradise Hot Springs, if you want a bit more upscale experience. This area is centrally located for all of the sights within the La Fortuna area.

And the final category of places to stay in the La Fortuna area, is just anything more in the countryside outside of the of the town or route 142. There are several hotels or vacation home rentals a bit farther from the town and main route that may provide even more affordable accommodations. These accommodations may provide you more space or more amenities (like private pools) for a cheaper price, still within a short driving distance to the activities. One example is Arenal Waterfall Lodge.

Itinerary overview & Map

We flew into LIR airport and after spending the night near the airport, we drove into the La Fortuna area the next morning. Here is the overview of our itinerary:

Day 1: Drive to La Fortuna, Llanos del Cortez waterfall along the way, drive around Lake Arenal, Arenal Volcano, Hot Springs
Day 2: Mistico Hanging bridges, Zip-lining, hot springs, dinner in La Fortuna
Day 3: Bogarin Trail and start drive to Manuel Antonio

Depending on your flight times, where you are coming from and how long you have in La Fortuna, you can rearrange your itinerary to work for you. Everything in this area is fairly close together and driving times once you are here will be short. Here is an in-depth look at all of the places we visited. The next section has a lot more options of places to see and activities to do while in La Fortuna to consider for your trip.

Arenal Volcano National Park

We were told by local guides that the Arenal Volcano is only fully visible about 60 days a year. There are not official data sets that track that, but it is fair to say that seeing the volcano fully visible is an unexpected treat. The best time to see it is in the early morning before the clouds start appearing around its summit and during the drier season. The Arenal Volcano is a large and active symmetrical volcano that juts out of the tropical forest in the area surrounding it. It last erupted in 2010 and you can still see water vapor and volcanic gases coming from its summit. There is no more flowing lava and the volcano is officially dormant as of 2010 after 40 years of near-daily eruptions.

You can see this volcano from a lot of spots around La Fortuna, but if you want an up close look – head to the Arenal Volcano National Park. The national park is run by SINAC (Costa Rica’s agency that runs their national parks). It is open daily from 8am to 4pm, with the last entry being at 2pm. Currently, it costs non-resident adults $15 and non-resident children $5 to enter. It is credit-card only. You can purchase entry to the national park upon arrival. The national park is split into two sectors: the main Volcano sector and the Peninsula sector. Your ticket is valid for both.

We had limited time and just visited the Main Volcano sector. After passing through the admission gate, we drove as far as we could on the main road to the Mirador principal or the main lookout point for the volcano. This spot is worth it for a quick photo and to read the signs about the volcano. We then drove back down the road to the next parking lot we saw. This parking lot is right by the start of the Las Coladas trail (meaning the flows trail). This is an out and back trail that is 2km each way. Along the trail there is also an additional loop you can do called the El Ceibo trail that is an additional 3km or 1.9 miles. The El Ceibo trail is named after a large 400 year old Ceiba tree that used to be on the trail but had since fallen after a storm.

We did just the Las Coladas trail and it was 2.4 miles in total. The trail starts off very flat through the forest. If you visit early the morning, there is a chance you will see some wildlife on the trail – moneys, coati, birds, lizards, etc. We visited in the afternoon and unfortunately did not see any notable wildlife. Near the end of the trail, there are well-maintained metal staircases and volcanic rock steps that lead you to the lava flows and a beautiful viewpoint. Most of the trail is relatively “boring” by Costa Rican standards but the view and lava flows are definitely worth it! The raised platform at the end gives you views of the volcano along with Lake Arenal.

We did this hike with a 5 and 6 year old and there were definitely complaints and whining. It was near the end of the day, it was hot and they were eager to get to the hot springs at our hotel. We employed all of our tricks for getting kids to hike – motivating them with candy along the way, playing games as we walk, letting them do funny posed pictures in front of sights along the trail – and they made it the whole way. They made it in part thanks to this neck fan, which I would highly recommend everyone get when going to Costa Rica or another hot destination.

We did not make it over to the La Peninsula sector of the park, but it is a great option if you have more time. There are several short handicap accessible trails with volcano and lake views and chances to see wildlife. This area of the park sees less visitors, thus there is a better chance to see wildlife.

Los Lagos Hot Springs

Throughout the La Fortuna area, there are dozens of hot springs. These are natural pools that are heated from the geothermal activity from the Arenal Volcano. Groundwater (like from rain) seeps underground, is heated by the magma-warmed rocks, and then rises back to the surface rich in minerals. These hot springs are clean and safe, with temperatures ranging from 80-105ºF. The high temperatures create an environment inhospitable for harmful bacteria, making them quite clean and safe to enjoy. The minerals in the water include calcium, magnesium, potassium and more. There are 14 major hot spring properties and locations in the La Fortuna area. Most of which are at resorts, but there are a few budget-friendly options and even a free natural public hot spring river (Rio Chollin/El Choyin) that you can visit. Other hot spring options are detailed down below in the more things to do section.

We stayed at the Los Lagos Hotel, Spa & Resort and in between almost all of our activities – we spent some time swimming in the pools and relaxing in the hot springs. If you are not staying in a hotel with hot springs, you can also get a day pass. The resort has 8 thermal mineral pools that range in temperature. All of the pools state the temperature and you can try them all out to find the perfect temperature for you. There are also 3 non-hot spring pools that are on the cooler side. This is where you will find the waterslides and kid pools. The property also has several jetted jacuzzis. You can spend hours enjoying the property without getting bored or too hot.

Mistico Hanging Bridges

Mistico Park or Mistico Hanging Bridges is a privately owned rainforest reserve that operates guided and self-guided tours throughout the property. The loop trail around the property includes multiple hanging suspension bridges that let you observe the rain forest at different parts of the tree level. The trail takes you from the forest floor all the way to the canopy. This is an excellent place to go to observe the beautiful flora of the rain forests in Costa Rica but also the wildlife. Inside the park there are over 300 bird species, over 100 mammal species including monkeys and sloths, and many reptiles, amphibians and insects.

We ended up having a lot of early mornings in Costa Rica, which was fine since the sun went down at 6pm and we could go to sleep early. Mistico Hanging Bridges is one of the places that it is worth waking up early for. The gates officially open at 6am with the first self-guided tour at 6:30am. I would recommend starting your tour before 8am. Animals are most active in the early mornings when the temperatures are cool and the people are fewer.

The big question that people debate when visiting Mistico and other nature reserves is – do I need a guide? Or is it worth it to have a guide? Most of the wildlife in the rainforest are very good at camouflaging. Naturalist guides have the experience to spot wildlife high in the canopy or the ones hiding in plain sight. Will you see more wildlife if you go with a naturalist guide? That is almost guaranteed. At Mistico, the current price difference for a guided tour vs self-guided is under $20, which isn’t substantial for the history and information along with the wildlife spotting ability that a guide can give you. For Mistico, we opted to do the Self-guided option for a few reasons. However, I think no matter which one you choose – it would be a good choice.

We were traveling with a 5 & 6 year old who like to go at their own pace – sometimes that is speed walking or running and some times that is stopping every 10 feet. They very much enjoyed this park and hiking for most of the trail – which is significant. We knew that the added pressure of having to stick with a group and listen wasn’t going to help their moods. Mistico also, for good reason, does not allow you to bring in outside food on the trails. If you have hiked with kids, you know that snacks and treats are invaluable. We wanted it to be as positive as an experience as possible and that we knew would be best done if we were on our own. However, your kids might be different. They might be on their best behavior when they are in a group surrounded by other people. Choose what is best for your family. We also had a family member who was recovering from an injury and was unsure if they were going to be able to do the full loop, so we opted for self-guided to let them modify as they saw fit.

We were also overly confident that we would be good enough at spotting animals to see at least something. Did we see lots of wildlife? Yes, we did. Did any of us in our group spot that wildlife first? No. Almost every single thing that we saw was pointed out to us by other groups around us. We looked up all the tips beforehand. The only thing we (and by we, I mean my 6 year old) saw first was a small snake that was making its way across the trail right in front of us. We saw a group of baby wild boars with their mom, multiple snakes, a monkey playing in the trees above us, leaf cutter ants, and various birds.

We are thankful for the animals we did spot, however the rainforest and the suspension bridges were the highlight. There are a few different loops you can take in the park – a flat assessable loop and a more strenuous hilly loop where most of the suspension bridges are located. The primary loop trail is 3.2km or 2 miles. I would consider the difficulty moderate, but my 5 & 6 year old were able to do the whole trail without much difficultly. My father-in-law who a couple months prior had knee surgery, was able to do the main trail but at a slower pace. However, it is ideal to go at a slower pace anyways to try to see as much as you can. We started at 7:20am and ended at 9:20am, so it took us almost exactly 2 hours. I would plan anywhere from 1.5-3 hours depending on your pace and if you are doing a guided tour or not.

The primary loop trail connects back up with the accessible trail at the end and it was very busy by 9am. The trail is much wider but there were multiple groups that were blocking the path and talking loud. For that reason, I would also recommend arriving early. But despite it being a popular attraction and relatively expensive for a hiking experience, we found it to be very worthwhile. It was ran well and you can tell that the people who work there care about the nature and wildlife.

Zip-lining Canopy Tour

After Mistico Park, we headed back to our hotel, Los Lagos, and went up to their viewpoint of the Arenal Volcano since it was still visible. We passed by a group doing a horse tour and the zip lining starting point, which we were going to be doing a couple hours later. After a short break in our rooms, we headed to zip lining.

There are multiple zip-lining companies in the La Fortuna area. Our hotel had zip-lining on property and for convenience, we did it there. I initially was slightly worried that it wouldn’t feel “jungly” enough being right on property. However, after the first line, it felt like we were transported into the rainforest. While it was convenient for us, I would especially recommend zip-lining at Los Lagos if you are not staying here or another hot springs resort. Zip-lining here includes access to the Los Lagos hot springs at the end. This is a great way to bundle both experiences at a good price. The guides were tremendous and made the experience. There was a total of 15 zip lines, including ones with views of the Arenal Volcano. There was an option to do a Tarzan swing as well during the tour.

The minimum age for zip-lining varies depending on the company. For this company’s zip-lining, we were told different ages by different people from 4-6 years old being the minimum. To some extent, your child’s weight matters as if they are not heavy enough, their weight may not propel them the entire way down the zip. Their age might also factor into whether they can listen to the instructions and whether they are actually willing to do the entire experience. We have a very adventurous 6 year old and a 5 year old who can get nervous about new experiences. We had our 5 year old stay back with her grandpa who recently had surgery and took our 6 year old zip-lining. She loved it and did really well following the instructions. However, she did think the whole experience was longer than she expected. She said she would have been just as happy just doing 2-3 zips. The guides did so well with her, one even went on the line right after her and got an amazing video of her.

There is an option to have a photographer join the tour and purchase the photos they take, however everyone declined that on our tour. But the guides were more than willing to take photos and videos using our phones for us. If you are bringing your phone with you, you will need either pants pockets that zip closed or a strap that attaches to your phone and wrist/body. My husband used this one that we have for our camera as well.

There are also other zip-lines in the area, including one that takes you over the La Fortuna waterfall.

After zip-lining, we had more time in the hot springs and ended the day with dinner in the town of La Fortuna.

Bogarin Trail

On our last day in the La Fortuna area, we packed our bags for our journey to Manuel Antonio and decided between two different experiences for our last thing in the area. We were between the La Fortuna waterfall and a hike to see sloths. We chose sloths.

Driving near and around La Fortuna, you will see several signs for places advertising Sloth trails and sloth nature reserves. Looking up these places online, you will see a range of comments on their ethics. Many of these are private properties where the owners replanted or preserved the forests on the land and sloths and other animals arrived to live here on their own. There are some comments saying that there are unethical places where owners took sloths and relocated them onto their property – although there is no proof of that happening. We did considerable research before choosing to visit one of these nature preserves to see sloths and decided that for us it seemed ethical. These owners help preserve the land, slow the spread of urbanization (Bogarin trail is located right next to the town of La Fortuna), and provide habitat for animals whose habitat is being taken away elsewhere. Having visited, we feel good about where our money went. However the decision whether you visit one is up to you.

Bogarin Trail is a 2.5km (1.5 miles) flat walk through a lush rainforest, close to La Fortuna town. We chose this location since it has a self-guided option. Sloth watching trail that is right next door to Bogarin Trail and Sloth’s Territory a little bit farther from town are similar trails but only offer guided tours of their properties. If you want a better chance of seeing a sloth and information from the knowledgeable guides – I would recommend booking a guided tour at Bogarin or one of the other trails. Sloths are typically found high up in trees and away from the path. They are also pretty great at camouflaging and blending in with the trees canopy. Guides have knowledge of the trail, scopes to see farther away, and a more trained eye to see the sloths.

We opted to try to spot sloths ourselves and take the trail at our own pace. The trail has multiple different loops and trails that crisscross throughout the reserve. The map that the Bogarin trail gives you shows that more sloths typically hang out in the left half of the trail, so we headed that way first. Here are some tips we read before visiting that are supposed to help you spot sloths:

Walk slowly and listen for rustling in the canopy. You might hear sloths before seeing them.
Ask at check in before you start on the trails where sloths have been spotted recently.
Ask other visitors that you walk past if they have seen any sloths and where they saw them.
Bring binoculars. Sloths are often far in the trees and binoculars can be invaluable to check whether what you are seeing is actually a sloth or just a clump of leaves.
Keep your distance. Stay at least 3 meters or 10 feet away from sloth, especially for their own feeling of comfort.
Scan the middle-to-upper canopy, particularly of Cecropia trees – which is their favorite food source.
Look around – not for a sloth shape – but for anything that looks out of place against straight tree branches as only part of the sloth may be visible from the angle you are looking. A rounded dark ball or irregular bump that looks like a fuzzy rounded coconut.
Go early or late. Three-toed sloths are active in the early morning and two-toed sloths are mostly nocturnal.
Follow the crowds. A cluster of tourists looking up at a tree is typically the most reliable giveaway.

We spent the first 15 minutes of the walk anxiously scanning up and down the trees, trying to be as quiet as we could. We stuck to the part of the trails that were supposed to have the most sloth sightings. We did eventually see a mom and baby sloth but in an unexpected way. My 5 year old needed to go to the bathroom, which was at the front of the park, so my husband walked with her as quick as they could through one of the short cut paths in the middle of the property. On their way back to us, they spotted the mom sloth thanks to a couple that pointed it out to them. They found us again and took us back to the sloth (along with another group of tourists that was near us). As we were there observing her from a respectful distance, she slowly moved farther and farther up the trees after she finished her meal. By the end she was nearly invisible – and would have been invisible if we didn’t already know that she was there.

After watching her for a while, we finished walking around the rest of the trail where we saw some cool birds but no other sloths. The trail itself is beautiful and we were very thankful that we saw a sloth. It is not a guarantee to see a sloth on a self-guided tour especially.

More things to do

La Fortuna Waterfall

This is one of the most popular and beautiful attractions in La Fortuna. La Fortuna Waterfall is 70 meters high and located in a biological reserve. It costs $20 and requires walking down (and then back up) 500 steps. You can swim in the freshwater pool that has formed underneath the waterfall. The trail is in good condition but it is a bit of a challenging climb. We ended up skipping this waterfall since we visited and swam in the Llanos del Cortez waterfall.

Lake Arenal

We drove along Lake Arenal on our first day on our way to La Fortuna. It is a beautiful lake and Costa Rica’s largest body of water. There are several ways to get out on the lake and enjoy it. You can kayak or paddle board, go bird watching, jet ski, or take a boat tour.

White-Water Rafting

Another exhilarating activity you can do nearby La Fortuna is white water rafting. There are Class II-IV runs for any level of adventure seeker. There are both family friendly tours and river sections with bigger waves.

Canyoning and Waterfall Rappelling

If you want a fun way to experience waterfalls and the canyons around La Fortuna, consider going on a canyoning and waterfall rappelling tour. There are rappels and jumps and a couple zip lines. This is a great option for families with kids 5 and older.

Chocolate and Coffee Tours

If you want an activity that is less on the adventurous side, consider a coffee and chocolate tour. You get a tour of a farm that grows coffee, sugarcane and chocolate. You’ll learn how they produce these products and get to prepare and taste samples

ATV Tour

Explore the area with a mud-splattering ride on an ATV.

Arenal 1968 Volcano View and Lava Trails

Arenal 1968 is a private reserve, right next to the national park, with trails that give you a close view of the Arenal Volcano and the old lava flows. It costs $28 for adults and is one of the more expensive volcano trails in the area. It includes access to a couple longer trails (2-3 miles). You can also take an ATV or ride a horse through this park as well.

El Salto Swimming Hole

Free, natural public swimming hole with a rope swing.

Arenal Volcano view from Mistico Hanging Bridges

Natura Eco Park

Guided Night walk

Several of the nature reserves mentioned above have guided night walk options. There is a whole collection of animals that you can see best at night – especially some brilliantly colored frogs, reptiles, and insects. The tour includes flashlights and a trained guided to keep you safe and point out the wildlife.

Explore downtown La Fortuna

La Fortuna has a nice walkable downtown that is worth checking out. Make sure you walk through the Central Park and see if you can get any great views of the Arenal Volcano from the main square. There are so many local restaurants, grocery stores, souvenir shops and more around the town.

What to read while you are there

I love reading books that fit the destination I am visiting - whether they took place there, were inspired by it or just give off similar vibes. Here are some books that are either about or set in La Fortuna or the Costa Rican rainforest. The books span multiple genres, including books for kids, nonfiction books, and adult fiction books.

Lake Arenal from Arenal Volcano National Park

Monkeys are Made of Chocolate by Jack Ewing – A collection of fun essays about how the plants and animals in the Costa Rican rainforest interact with each other. It is a great introduction to the flora and fauna in the area without being a boring guidebook.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton – A thrilling book that started the franchise. Michael Crichton lived in Costa Rica and sets the book in a fictional version of this rain forest filled country.
The Blue Zones Secrets for Living Longer by Dan Buettner – a non-fiction book detailing areas of the world where people regularly live longer. One of these places is Nicoya Peninsula in Northwest Costa Rica.
Girl Off the Grid by Jillian Dodd – A fashion blogger is sent on an eco-trip to Costa Rica in this enemies to lovers romance book.
Over and Under the Rainforest by Kate Messner – Kids picture book with beautiful illustrations and a fun story that also teaches kids (and you) about the animals and plants you can find at all layers of the rainforest. The setting of this book reminded me of the Mistico Hanging bridges.
Sophie Washington: Mission: Costa Rica by Tonya Duncan Ellis – A great middle-grade chapter book about a group of kids having adventures in the Costa Rican jungle.
The Birds of Costa Rica: A Field Guide by Richard Garrigues – A brilliant compact field guide to help you identify the birds you might encounter in Costa Rica.
