Discover one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Costa Rica on this excursion to the Fortuna River Waterfall. A must if you're in Arenal!

Visit the Fortuna River Waterfall

At the indicated time we'll pick you up at your hotel in Arenal and travel to the Fortuna River Waterfall Private Reserve, one of the most beautiful natural areas in Costa Rica.

Upon arrival at the reserve, we'll walk through the forest of the Fortuna River Waterfall, which will allow us to learn about the area's biodiversity. It's time to find out! After this short hiking route, we'll get on board a tractor-type vehicle that will take us to a viewpoint with impressive views of the Fortuna River Waterfall.

From here, we'll walk back up a staircase in the middle of the jungle made up of 500 steps, which will take us to the base of the Fortuna River Waterfall! During the hike, we'll also have the opportunity to see native animals such as toucans, oropendolas and butterflies.

Once at the waterfall, we'll admire its impressive 70-metre (230 feet) fall up close and, as a reward, you'll be able to take a refreshing dip in its waters! After this break, we'll return to the lookout point and head to the Maluku indigenous village, where we'll be welcomed with open arms and learn all about their culture.

To complete the excursion, we'll satisfy your appetite with a traditional Costa Rican meal. With your batteries recharged, we'll return to Arenal and drop you off at your hotel 6 hours later.
