Recommended season
The dry season, between November-April, has nice temperatures and warm weather.. ideal for travelers
There could still be a few showers because it`s a tropical area, but nothing major
This is the more touristic season, and therefor the prices are rising
The wet season, between May-October, is totally unexpected
You could enjoy a few days of sun and then out of nowhere there will be rainfalls which won`t stop
It`s hard to plan a trip that way.. so pa attention to the forecast all the time
Recommended time
A week
How do we get there
You take a buss from San Jose to the station of La Fortuna
Where should we sleep
I reccomend you to book your stay at Arenal Backpackers Hostel, Young atmosphere, clean dorms and great location
The reception will help you book all of the attractions and the shuttles for the rest of Costa Rica
Attractions
Horse riding to the La Fortuna`s waterfall
Day trip to Rio Celecste
Sup in Arenal`s lake which overlook the volcano
Spa in Tabacon, totally worth the money
Canyoning, highly recommended
In the main square you will find many souvenirs shops and restaurants
