Northern Plains & Arenal
Pine-covered mountains, sun-baked plains,
pastoral rolling hills, verdant rain forest, fertile agricultural
zones, fast-moving rivers and rural lakes fill the Northern
Zone with vast diversity. The vibrant green countryside
stands in contrast with the deep blue of Lake Arenal —
now one of the world's premier windsurfing destinations.
Emerging from Alajula's gentle green hills
is the imposing figure of Arenal Volcano. Dormant until
the late 1960's, it is now one of the most active volcanos
in the world and it rarely disappoints. Visitors are witness
to the spectacular nightly display of nature's fireworks
in an array of brilliant colors. The looming Arenal keeps
a grumbling watch over the town of La Fortuna.
La Fortuna is a delightful mecca of lush
forestry perfect for hiking and exploring. A tranquil boat
ride on the Sarapaqui River gives visitors the opportunity
to enjoy a vast multitude of wildlife (some only found in
this area) along with many different species of colorful
birds.
Witness the beauty and awesome power of
La Fatuna Waterfall. Bask in the therapeutic pools and hot
springs at Tabacón Resort & Spa. Delight in fishing
for stripped bass in Lake Arenal or take advantage of the
glorious breezes that whip across the lake while windsurfing.
This area will truly amaze and intrigue
its visitors with so much of the biodiversity that Costa
Rica affords.
These are just some of the fine
properties that we represent:
