The two most popular jungle towns in Costa Rica.
La Fortuna is known for its Arenal Volcano backdrop. Monteverde is best known as being a cloud forest destination. Both towns are in the Northern Mountain Region near Lake Arenal.
La Fortuna has more to offer for adrenaline and adventure outdoor activities. From zip lining to white water rafting to caving.
Go hiking in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, hike at Santa Elena, take a guided bird-watching tour, and take a wildlife night walk.
Visit a hot spring, take a cacao tour, or go on a zip-lining adventure.
The moody cloud forest and small town make Monteverde a really peaceful place.
There are several adult-only jungle resorts. There are also hot springs geared towards relaxation and romantic vibes.
If you are interested in a completely unique cloud forest environment, Monteverde is one of the best places in Costa Rica to visit.
