LA FORTUNA

La Fortuna and the Arenal area are known for the world famous Arenal Volcano but they're also quickly becoming known as Costa Rica's premiere Adventure Zone. While you're here enjoy canyoneering, whitewater rafting, kayaking, horseback rides between La Fortuna and Monteverde, hikes to waterfalls and active volcanoes, mountain biking and many other activities.

Desafío Adventure Company is Costa Rica's leading adventure company specializing in unique, high-quality experiences throughout the country. Let us take care of you as we show you our lush rainforests, pristine tropical rivers, amazing waterfalls, impressive active volcanoes and enchanting beaches. Try rafting the adrenaline-packed class 3-4 Río Toro, descend into our Lost Canyon, ride like a true Costa Rican cowboy on our beautiful horses from the Arenal Volcano to the cloud forests of Monteverde and finish your stay surfing the Pacific beaches of Samara. Desafío Adventure Company makes it happen!
