8.00hrs. Horseback ride to La Fortuna Waterfall
Have you ever ridden a horse? This morning we will enjoy an unforgettable adventure through the rainforest to the beautiful Fortuna Waterfall. We will ride for about 1 hour to reach the entrance of the waterfall. Our next challenge will be to hike down to the amazing waterfall, over 60 meters high, where we can swim and enjoy the flora and fauna.
The length of the tour is approximately of 4 hours. Once we recollect all passengers from the hotels we will start the horseback ride at a slow pace from La Fortuna town. We will horseback for 5 ½ kms ( 3.3 miles ) This will take us approx. 1 ½ hours until we get to a point where we leave the horses at rest. During the journey you can enjoy the country side, excellent views of the Arenal Volcano, pasture land and agricultural fields. At the same time you will have the chance to see many different bird species like for example the Montezuma Oropendola, the American Swallow-tailed Kite and toucans. After this first horseback ride you will start a hike down on a very steep trail to the bottom of the waterfall, which is 70 meters high. This hike (0.3 miles) requires a good physical condition on the way up.
At the base you will have a spectacular view and also there is a “natural pond” where you can swim in these fresh waters of La Fortuna River.
