La Fortuna Backpackers was built on a family house constructed about 24 years ago. It was refurbished and styled to cater the needs of backpackers from all over the world who want to experience the beauty of Costa Rica. Installed with modern furnishings and designed for comfort, La Fortuna Backpackers is a perfect place where you feel the easy comfort of home.
The place is located at the quiet neighbourhood at the center of the town just few blocks away from the bus stop. The place is accessible to public transportation, 200 meters from the banks, a walking distance to the supermarkets, shops, drugstores, food stalls, and restaurants. It provides easy mobility to the natural attractions of the city such as the stunning Arenal Volcano, the impressive hot spring, majestic waterfalls, and verdant tropical forest. read more

Everything is new here and well-designed. ThereĀ?s a small garden at the back, a hammock, free Wi-Fi and television. The kind of quality here is beyond your expectation considering the price you pay. Highly recommended!
