La Fortuna Costa Rica

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 05:10:55 +0000

Hey everyone, DAngelo and michael alan from the Costa Rica Travel Channel. We live in La fortuna, right next to the Arenal Volcano. I can’t think of two better guys to show you around. So check it out and see why we live here. The canopy tours, rafting, rappelling, hiking Cerro Chata and Fortuna Falls, biking, flora and fauna have nothing to do with it…hehe. If you’re ever in the area, by all mean, stop in and bring the Cacique.

Lying at the eastern foot of the spectacular, Volcan Areanl, is the charming little tourist town (about 7,500) of La Fortuna. Recently this town has become quite the destination for volcano watchers from around the world. La Fortuna is the entry point to the road that connects the Arenal Volcano area to Lake Arenal and continuing on into Guanacaste. The magnificent Arenal Volcano is basically what put the little former farming town of La Fortuna on any visitors to Costa Ricas map, and prior to 1968, it was solely a agricultural town. Now it is one the premier tourist destinations in Costa Rica.

The history of La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano have been connected since Volcan Arenal reared it massive head and awoke after a 400 year slumber and violently erupted in 1968 with the largest eruption in its recent history. It had been dormant so long it was thought by the locals to be a mere mountain. Actually, Arenal is an almost perfect cone, soaring 1,633 meters above sea level and has a crater 140 meters deep formed over an ancient caldera. The volcano dates back to about 3 million years ago. Arenal spewed ash, rocks and gas for 3 consecutive days and when the smoke finally cleared the villages of Tabacon, Pueblo Nuevo and San Luis were no more. From this catastrophic tragedy, La Fortuna (meaning the Fortune), was born as the town center and village for the Arenal Volcano area and like moths to a flame, tourists from around the world started descending on La Fortuna in search of fiery night skies.

La Fortuna has grown leaps and bounds in recent years all due to the lucrative tourism industry. Farmers sold their land and cabinas popped up out of nowhere and even without an active volcano spewing smoke, ash and lava overhead, La Fortuna would still be a great place to relax and kick back for a few days. Today, La Fortuna offers everything for the Costa Rica traveler and despite the influx of tourists the town still retains that cool vibe and real Tico fee. Accommodations from the 5 star Tabacon to a $10. per night hostel; and of course everything in between. There is easy access to rejuvenating hot springs, horseback riding to waterfall, white-water rafting, waterfall rappelling, hiking, volcano tours, canopy tours, bungee jumping, cave explorations, butterfly gardens and eco-tours, the list goes on and on. Its no wonder La Fortuna has become one of the top tourist destinations in Costa Rica.
