What are people saying about La Fortuna

A great way to experience some of the La Fortuna “must sees.”
A long day but totally worth it. Our guide for the day was Albert. He was great, and explained everything in English and Spanish as we went along. It was a very rainy day and the volume of the waterfall was too intense for swimming, but the hike down (and back up) was beautiful. We opted to hang out in the café to dry off a bit because it was pouring rain, before we continued on to the Arenal volcano hike. Even in the rain, it’s worth doing the hike to the base of the volcano, but I imagine it’s spectacular if you are lucky enough to do it on a clear day. Albert provided facts on the volcano and was constantly on the lookout for wildlife that he pointed out as we trekked. For us though, the highlight of the day was the Mistico hanging bridges. Besides the spectacular scenery and the bridges themselves, there was plenty of wildlife to see including howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, and even an eyelash viper. Beautiful place, and very easy to hike on the paved trails. We decided to skip the final stop at the hot springs because we had a day pass to one of the hot springs resorts the next day, and instead, had them drop us off at our hotel - Lost Iguana - which was very close to the Mistico Hanging Bridges. They were very flexible and agreeable about doing. Overall, a great day, and we slept like babies.

Lots of sloths and some local flavor
We wanted to see sloths and we sure did! We saw at least 12, including a couple with babies. Our guide, Augustin, was great. He focused in on them in the trees with spitting scope and made sure everyone got a good lock and photos and video through the scope if they wanted. I had my our binoculars, which I highly recommend. Once your guide finds the sloth you can take your time looking at them. One sloth came down from the trees while we were there, and they gave us plenty of time to watch. It was great. The rest of the tour - the coffee, chocolate and sugar cane was interesting and relaxing. But the sloths were definitely the high point for us. If you want to see sloths and experience some of the “flavors” of Costa Rica, this is the way to go.

Highly recommend, the best experience
Where do I start! I didn’t see enough great things about this experience. Everything about it was amazing!!! Our guides Uriel and Melonie were attentive to everyone’s needs and very knowledgeable! Be prepared to climb lots and lots of stairs but the end game is worth every single step! One of the best trips, highly recommend wearing very comfortable clothes and hiking shoes (and bring a rain poncho). So glad we did this one with our 2 boys. A must!!!!

The guide, Esteban, was...
The guide, Esteban, was knowledgeable and engaging. There was no hiking, just a gentle walk through their gardens with different stations where we sat and learned about both Cocoa and coffee growing and making processes. I got to taste raw and roasted coffee beans and medium and deep roast coffee. As a coffee lover it was very interesting learning about and tasting the different forms of coffee.
