Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in San Carlos?
The best area to stay in San Carlos is La Fortuna, which serves as the primary gateway to the Arenal Volcano.

La Fortuna is a bustling town known for its direct views of the Arenal Volcano and its wide array of activities. The town centre is quite compact, with the Parque Central de La Fortuna as a focal point, surrounded by various restaurants, shops, and tour operators. It's easy to get around on foot or by taxi here.

For families, La Fortuna is an excellent base due to the sheer number of family-friendly attractions nearby. You'll find adventures like the La Fortuna Waterfall, the Arenal Hanging Bridges, and various hot springs resorts, many of which offer facilities suitable for all ages. Most hotels in the area cater to families, often featuring swimming pools and organised activities.

Couples looking for a romantic escape will appreciate the many boutique hotels and resorts scattered just outside the main town, often located in lush rainforest with stunning volcano views.
When is the best time to go to San Carlos?
The best time to visit San Carlos, San José Province, Costa Rica, is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

The roads are also in better condition, making travel between attractions smoother. This period is great for travellers looking for guaranteed good weather for their adventures.

The shoulder seasons, May and November, can also be a good option. While there might be occasional rain showers, they are usually short, and the landscape is lush and green.
