HISTORY OF LA FORTUNA DE COSTA RICA. |
||
|
|
Since
July 1968, Arenal was a little mountain, completely covered by woods, very
similar to the others encircling the village of LA FORTUNA. |
||
|
The
estimate victims were 62 persons, even if local people say they were
certainly more. Since that time, the Arenal Volcano, with its 1635 of
heights, perfectly represents the idea of volcano, thanks to its perfect
conic shape rising from the extensive plain. Today Arenal is the most active volcano in Costa Rica, with its daily rumours and its continuous escapes. A full moon night at the base of volcano, admiring the incandescent lava's rivers, is a real show, that only itself is worths a whole vacation in Costa Rica. At 40 kms from Ciudad Quesada (San Carlos), at the base of Arenal Volcano, you can find the village of LA FORTUNA. |

After
that tragic event, from a little village of countrymen, since more than 10
years LA FORTUNA became an obligate goal for tourists who, arrived in
Costa Rica, decide to start vacations with a taste of adventure and finish
them with the relaxing beaches of Guanacaste, on the Pacific Ocean. During the transfer from San José Airport to LA FORTUNA, the tourist can find about 100 kms precious street, with suggesting natural views, passing from the Cordillera Central, the real "vertebral column" of the whole American continent. During this passage, it is not rare to be invested by a short freshly rain that, only after few minutes, let the place to a very clear and blu sky, as never seen before... |

Arrived
at LA FORTUNA, the main street takes to the little center, with its
numerous local artesany little shops,
bars, little tipical
restaurants, familiar conduction little
hotels (best known as "cabinas"), where it's possible to
lodge with at very low prices. Someone of them offer a little breakfast,
others offer only the lodging. The prices, for a night, go from 10$ to 20$ in double room. The hotels, situated quiet out from the center, offer several services as air conditioning and privat bath. The prices go from 20$ to 80$, depending the level of services and category. The prices grown up as much as the hotel is near the Volcano. |
