Day Trips & Excursions in La Fortuna

Explore the pitch-black maze of an underground river on an extreme caving adventure from Arenal. Grab a flashlight and strap on boots and a helmet to enter the Venado Cave system, where a guide leads you on a wet and winding route deep inside the labyrinth. Get ready to squeeze through passages, encounter bats, and pass through mysterious waterfalls while learning about Costa Rica's ancient geologic history.

Get a bird's-eye view of Arenal's amazing biodiversity on a hanging bridges hike. Cross a series of 15 suspended and swinging walkways engineered for safety, moving at a leisurely pace to observe native wildlife including lizards, snakes, monkeys, sloths, and hundreds of bird species. You'll get the vantage point of a canopy tour while being able to slow down and really appreciate life in the Costa Rican rain forest.
