Costa Rica - Day 3 - La Fortuna Waterfall

After our hike to the Arenal Volcano lava field, we headed to downtown La Fortuna for lunch. During several meals we enjoyed Casado, which is a typical Costa Rican meal consisting of rice, black beans, plaintains, salad and your choice of chicken, beef, pork or fish. It is very good and filling.

Next, we decided to hike to the La Fortuna Waterfall, which is about 250 feet tall. It is in a rain forest about 3 miles outside of town. While we were there, it poured, so we got to experience a rain forest in action. We started at the top and hiked down, down down. You can see the waterfall behind everyone in this group shot.

The waterfall was breathtaking. It was truly spectacular.
