Day 1: Welcome to Costa Rica!

Private Transfer

Upon arrival to Liberia airport , your guide will meet you after exiting the baggage claim area and will accompany you to meet your driver for your private transfer to your hotel in Arenal.

La Fortuna De San Carlos

La Fortuna de San Carlos is best known for being neighbors with the Arenal Volcano, one of the world’s most active volcanoes and Costa Rica’s most impressive. It towers over the town, which is quaint and bright with flowers, greenery and the Iglesia de La Fortuna de San Carlos. The town and its surrounds are a popular destination for travelers looking for nature and adventure. Hot springs and waterfalls are numerous, and activities range from zip-lining to hiking in the park around the volcano to whitewater rafting. The hot springs feed natural day spas that are known as the best in the country.

The area around La Fortuna wasn’t settled until the 1930s, when the agricultural sector took hold due to the fertile volcanic soil of the land. With a large eruption of the Arenal Volcano in 1968, visitors became interested in seeing the volcano, and tourism remains the major economy today.
