La Fortuna ATV Adventure with Mud Mask and Arenal Volcano Views
About This Experience
Get ready for 2 hours tour of pure adventure and adrenaline! Our experience begins at the private farm La Naciente, just minutes from La Fortuna downtown. We start by riding through muddy trails, crossing small rivers and streams, and driving through natural puddles—all surrounded by beautiful rainforest. The terrain is fun and a bit challenging, with bumps, mud, and uneven paths that make the ride exciting.
Before starting, we give a clear safety briefing and do a short practice ride to make sure everyone feels comfortable with the ATVs. Then, we continue onto the main trails of La Naciente, where you’ll enjoy more mud, twists, and adventurous sections while riding through nature.
Next, we visit the small village of La Guaria, where you can see local life, the church, and a traditional store (pulpería). We then continue along open trails until we reach the Arenal River(depending on weather conditions), where we stop to take photos, enjoy the view, and have a fresh fruit snack.
Meeting point
Our tour place is located about 4 kilometers west of downtown La Fortuna, heading toward Arenal Volcano Ruta Nacional secundaria 142, 10.4758590, Provincia de Alajuela, La Fortuna, 21007
