Tours in La Fortuna
La Fortuna is more than a travel destination—it’s a living epic beneath the majestic Arenal Volcano. Geothermal activity pulses through the land: steam vents billow in hidden corners, emerald canopy drips with life, and waterfalls carve valleys of solitude and energy. The local tour operators are not simply guides—they are custodians of traditions, environmental stewards, and story-weavers. Their paths blend science with folklore, acceleration with reflection, and each itinerary becomes a tapestry of human connection, wildlife communion, and volcanic grandeur.

> Canoa Aventura
Launching with paddle strokes into the hush of Lake Arenal before sunrise, Canoa Aventura invites guests into a world where mist floats between volcanic peaks and water mirrors the sky’s awakening colors. Guides share stories of how the lake was dammed, what ripples it created in local life, and trace movements of pelicans, herons, and turtles disrupting the waterline. Afternoon journeys navigate a narrow thermal stream—warm currents curling around the canoe, drifting through banks lined with endemic flora and hummingbird sanctuaries. Guests pause at rustic lake-front fincas, sampling fresh fruit and learning vine harvesting secrets. By day’s end, silence fills the canoe as paddle meets water, a perfect culmination to an unforgettable volcanic day.
