41
Anatural area managed in a sustainable manner by the Asociación de Desarrollo Integral de La Fortuna (ADIFORT), a non-profit organization, whose main objective is to ensure the development of the community through education, road infrastructure, environment, promotion of sports and culture, beautification and public safety projects, all possible thanks to funds raised through visitation.
The Fortuna River Waterfall is located in a 210 hectares biological reserve of pre-montane tropical rainforest transition, a part of the Arenal Volcano National Park and located 520 meters above sea level, where the mountain sources of the waters of the Fortuna River emerge.
To observe this splendorous 70 meters high waterfall, the visitor must hike a trail that includes a staircase of approximately 530 steps, with hand rails and comfortable areas to rest and hydrate. Once at the base of the waterfall, you will find a large and platform viewpoint from which you can create memories by taking unique photographs, and finally you can swim in the crystal clear waters of the Fortuna River.
