- Visit the Mistico Hanging Bridges. If you want to get out of town and amongst the treetops, I highly suggest visiting hanging bridges in La Fortuna. The Mistico Hanging Bridges are some of the best!

- Explore Arenal Volcano National Park. Arenal Volcano is obviously one of the best things to do in La Fortuna. Exploring the park is an adventure that takes you to the volcano’s base and slightly up its steep face.
- Venado caves. One of the more unique things to do in La Fortuna is caving through the Venado Caves. This fun, and somewhat scary experience, takes you underground to explore the cave with an expert guide.
