Learn more about Vacasa Premium Clean >La Fortuna vacation rentals are your gateway to the breathtaking landscape of Costa Rica. For the past decade, this small town of only 8,000 residents has welcomed over 90 percent of tourists that come to Costa Rica, thanks in large part to the photography opportunities afforded by the frequent eruptions of Arenal, the overactive stratovolcano looming on the horizon.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to amazing encounters with nature in the area. With hiking trails to Fortuna Waterfall, rejuvenating hot springs, and the capital city of San Jose nearby, you'll have no end to your adventure. Grab your camera and book one of our La Fortuna vacation rentals for the trip of a lifetime.
Lying in the north-central corner of Costa Rica, La Fortuna is about 80 miles north of San José, Costa Rica’s most populous city, and about 77 miles from the Pacific Coast in Puntarenas Province. One of the town’s main draws is its proximity to windsurfing and other water sports on Lake Arenal, the country’s largest body of freshwater, which sits 15 miles west via Route 142.
Eco-tourism runs deep throughout Costa Rica, and there is no better place to knock out all those bucket list adventures than in La Fortuna.
No trip to La Fortuna would be complete without a visit to Arenal Volcano National Park. Home of Cerro Chato and Arenal volcanoes, emerald green lagoons, 850 species of birds, and 121 square miles of dense, mountainous jungle, you'll find everything within this incredible park. From whitewater rafting on the Toro, Balsa, and Peñas Blancas Rivers, hiking through the jungle canopy on hanging bridges, spelunking in the Venado Caves, and boating on Lake Arenal, you'll never have a dull day.
Carry your camera to snap photos of the park’s impressive variety of wildlife, which includes coatis, two- and three-toed sloths, jaguars, tapirs, capuchin monkeys, deer, snakes, and many more species. Hike through the lush forest floor with giant ferns, orchids, and over 100 types of trees until you reach a lookout point to capture a postcard-perfect picture of such jaw-dropping landscapes as Cerro Chato's dormant crater, majestic waterfalls, and the mighty, flowing waters of the Río Chiquita.
Boundless beauty, a world-renowned national park, and attractions for all ages are all part of the La Fortuna experience. Come find where the Pura Vida spirit thrives during an unforgettable stay in one of our La Fortuna vacation rentals.
