Montaña de Fuego
One of the most visited places in Costa Rica is La Fortuna, San Carlos. It is very well-known because of the Iconic Arenal Volcano, which was active until 2010.
This farming area has a very special energy. The volcanic haze, the simple life, or the mystic quality seem to be around.
Spending a few days at La Fortuna is like submerging yourself in a very green jungle, walking on top of solidified lava, and swimming deep in hot spring waters. But the most impressive is always having a powerful witness: the Arenal Volcano, which seems to appear at the right time for the perfect picture or to remind you how strong nature is.
I strongly recommend taking advantage of this area for its magical powers and the many wonderful activities you can do here, from a peaceful hike to spot flora and fauna to the wildest horseback riding that makes you feel free and one with Pachamama.
For adrenaline lovers, there are also options like ATV, zip line, or Canoeing down the river …
But for those seeking a deeper experience, this is the place to connect, let go of any fears or problems, and feed from the strong healing energy this town offers.
Our recommended accommodation
La Fortuna has many hotels, from economical to luxurious to real pampering, and we can definitely accommodate your budget. Most of the places are nature-oriented, green, and located along the road, with hammocks or comfortable chairs to sit outside and be mesmerized by the view of the volcano at night.
Montaña de Fuego
This hotel has been in the area for a few years now. What I love the most about it is that they are always renovating and improving.
The rooms are simple but cozy. They have the most amazing view of the volcano and offer privacy and a good night’s sleep.
Their breakfast is an incredible buffet with anything you can think of and more, and the cocktails at the wet bar are very creative.
