Morning light cuts through the rainforest canopy as the group sets off, boots crunching a damp path toward suspended bridges that swing slightly with each step. Mist rises off a ribbon of water somewhere below, the sound daring you to look over the rail. This full-day loop from La Fortuna stitches together treetop walks, a river-fed plunge pool and a hike across the blackened ribs of Arenal’s 1968 lava flow—an itinerary built to show the volcano’s energy in different registers.

8–9 hours.
Suitable for travelers in fair to good shape; includes stair descents and several kilometers of walking at a steady pace.
Yes—most full-day tours include round-trip transport from central La Fortuna in an air-conditioned vehicle.
The descent involves many stairs and a steep return climb; those with limited mobility should plan accordingly.
Lunch is included; restroom stops are available at visitor facilities and the waterfall site before hikes.
Children can usually participate but should be comfortable with stairs, forest trails and following guide instructions.
Arenal was largely quiet before a sudden, large 1968 eruption that altered the landscape and created the modern lava fields visitors now walk across.
