The climate of La Fortuna (Costa Rica)
La Fortuna de San Carlos or La Fortuna for short is one of the
most popular starting points for a visit to the Arenal volcano. La
Fortuna is the natural transition zone between the volcanic area and
the forest. La Fortuna offers several more beautiful sites: a
beautiful waterfall and hot springs that can be found in the vicinity.
In this region you can also go rafting, hiking and horseback riding.
La Fortuna has a tropical rainforest climate. However, because La
Fortuna is situated at a higher altitude temperatures are slightly
tempered. Rain falls all year round. This causes high humidity figures
and a muggy feel. Temperatures are pleasant all year round.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
