La Fortuna Waterfalls & Jungle   

Fortuna Falls slpete.jpg (33828 bytes) is located west of town and up a ragged road.   It is a majestic sight of several falls brimming from the top of mountainous slopes.  

The falls plunge into a tropical jungle below .

It is a sheer walk down through the jungle wjungle.jpg (35404 bytes) to reach the  bottom of the falls and the river. 

On this day we encountered many wild creatures to include: a toucan that flew in for breakfast, parrots fascinated by our sneakers and David's head, a coati along Arenal Lake, and many varieties of birds.  Folks we met at breakfast had encountered a jaguar near the volcano.
