Things to do in Cantón San Carlos

Activities, attractions and tours

If you fly into San Jose, Costa Rica, and have time for a day trip, the Arenal Volcano and the attractions around it are worth the time. There is also a volcano near Turrialba that has been active lately, which is a little closer, but has none of the attractions. I have friends who live in the Turrialba area who have faced some uncertain days recently.

At the top of the stairs to the La Fortuna Waterfall... Short walk & totally worth it & you can go in the water & it's rad. #waterfall #costarica #hiking

Howler Monkey shot on rainforest hike. These guys have an attitude and have not been domesticated as pets as much as other species. This guy was no exception as he did try and poo on us. 💩Bad Monkey!
