LA FORTUNA
RAINFOREST
La Fortuna is Costa Rica's adventure capital, after
all! After living in Costa Rica as a digital nomad,
and taking a few road trips to La Fortuna, I can say
for sure: You can't visit Costa Rica and not spend a
few days in La Fortuna, surrounded by rainforests,
at the foot of the majestic Arenal Volcano

sky blue river on a day trip from La Fortuna. You’ll

few bridges, see the blue lagoon and the joining of

BACK TO THE STATION FOR THE RETURN OF THE VEHICLE

Every itinerary or route planning is subjective to the travellers. Some might like to stay longer
at some destinations or maybe some can be skipped while traveling to save time and get to
other locations.

At the end, the map is a good guidance point and it serves to show the displacement that it
is intended to do on the Nomad Expedition. It is also a great help when looking for places to
stay for the night different from the ones suggested.

Regarding the adventure tours (ziplines, rafting, Monteverde Cloud Forest, etc), we can help
you make those bookings from our office. Very important to ensure availability of spaces for
the tours of your interest. Let us know specific dates if you want help with this. Most of them
can be booked a few days before.
