Set against the backdrop of the imposing Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna de San Carlos offers visitors a chance to explore diverse natural landscapes and sample some delicious local produce. Named for the bounteous harvest provided by the area's rich volcanic soil--and perhaps for the fact that the town has never been destroyed by the volcano--La Fortuna enjoys a warm but not overly hot climate, with temperatures ranging between 20 C (68 F) and 26 C (78 F). Things to do in La Fortuna de San Carlos include whitewater rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, and visiting the area's famed volcanic hot springs.
