Layout of Arenal Area

La Fortuna, Arenal Costa Rica - La Fortuna is small, laid-back and touristy with lots of travel related businesses. The main streets and the areas around the church and the pretty central park are lined with tourist agencies and operators, restaurants, souvenir shops, banks, supermarktets,cafes and a bus depot. There is even a bungee jump in La Fortuna! And in the background the ever-imposing and majestic Arenal Volcano. The hotels in La Fortuna tend to be a bit cheaper than the larger resorts nearer the volcano and also there are plenty of hostels, back-packer hotels and aparthotels.

La Fortuna to Arenal Lake - The road curves its way around the base of Arenal Volcano towards Arenal Lake and Tabacon Hot Springs. The hotels along this stretch tend to be more luxurious and expensive and there are some top resorts. There are also less expensive places to stay tucked between some of these resorts, as well as restaurants and Hot Springs. The views of Arenal Volcano are breathtaking as you drive along this stretch of road. Most tour operators include transport pick-ups from the stretch between La Fortuna and Arenal Lake, so a car in not essential.

El Castillo, Arenal Lake - At the moment the hotels located in El Castilo and surrounds have the best active lava views but the location is over 30km from La Fortuna and a lot of the tour activities that Arenal specializes in. So it is best to have a car as a taxi will cost $25 - $30 each way to take you to the hot springs or other tours.
