La Fortuna Waterfall

A scenic journey from La Fortuna town leads you to a wonderland sculpted by nature's artistry. Lush rainforests teeming with diverse flora and fauna flourish thanks to the region's unique combination of hydrographic features, fertile soil formations, and a tropical downpour. La Fortuna Waterfall lies majestically at the foot of the dormant Chato Volcano, a neighbor to the active Arenal Volcano. The waterfall's lifeblood is the La Fortuna River, which winds its way through the rainforest before taking a dramatic plunge, creating this breathtaking spectacle. Your visit not only grants you access to this natural wonder but also contributes to the local community. The Development Association receives 100% of the entrance fee, supporting vital social projects such as schools, nutritional centers, orphanages, and road maintenance.
