La Fortuna
Costa Rica
Costa Rica's adventure capital sits at the foot of Arenal — a near-perfect 1,633m volcanic cone, dormant since 2010 but still feeding the area's many hot springs. La Fortuna Waterfall plunges 75m into a swimmable pool; Mistico's hanging bridges thread the rainforest canopy; Río Celeste's impossibly turquoise water sits a day-trip away. Zip-lining, rafting, sloth-spotting, and the famous Jeep-Boat-Jeep crossing to Monteverde all start here. Pura Vida personified.
