"La Fortuna is home, the place where I grew up exploring every corner of its lush rainforest and majestic volcanoes. Let’s not only admire landscapes but also immerse ourselves in the essence of Costa Rica. We will walk across hanging bridges, feeling the thrill of walking through the treetops. We will refresh ourselves in the crystal-clear waters of La Fortuna Waterfall, lovingly managed by the local community. We will explore the Arenal Volcano, learning about its history and power. And if you wish, we will close the day relaxing in the warm thermal waters, letting nature embrace us. Let’s share stories and knowledge about the flora, fauna, and culture of this land. Prepare to fall in love with La Fortuna, as I did so many years ago."
