Give the rainforest your attention

Hotel Lavas del Arenal invites you to give the rainforest more of your attention. Beside El Bosque Reserve in Chachagua, about 10 minutes from downtown La Fortuna, the property puts indigenous trees and opportunities to look for birds into the setting. Rooms have no televisions, a deliberate choice that encourages a different kind of downtime.

Leave an hour for the grounds

This is a place to enjoy the hours outside a tour as well as the tour itself. A walk across the extensive property can be a quieter way to spend part of the day, with the reserve's trees and birdlife giving you something to notice. Families can build in a more adventurous outing, while couples or solo travelers can leave more time for the calm of the grounds.

Arenal outings at your own pace
