Arenal Jungle Villas

Three glampsites — one villa and two dome tents — nestled in the jungle just 25 minutes outside La Fortuna, Costa Rica.

All three properties have outdoor kitchens, living areas, and showers where you can connect deeply with nature.

You’ll hear the river rushing in the forest, and guests have spotted toucans and even sloths right from their dining tables.

Each unit also has a spacious air-conditioned bedroom where you can escape from heat and mosquitos. On rainy days, you’ll appreciate the wifi, television, and board games.

If you love feeling connected to nature and you don’t mind sharing your space with an occasional insect or small lizard, these rustic-yet-comfortable lodgings are perfect for you.

If you don’t have a car, we can help you arrange transportation to/from your favorite activities.

Monteverde Cloud Forest

After visiting La Fortuna, many people visit to Monteverde to hike in the cloud forest.

If you have a car, it’s about a 3.5 hour drive.

If you don’t have a car, we highly recommend going by boat across Arenal Lake. It’s a beautiful trip.

Finding the property

Arenal Jungle Villas is on a gravel road outside the small village of Chachagua, a 25 minute scenic drive from La Fortuna.
It’s easy to reach if you have a car (or, even better, an SUV or 4X4).

But if you’re traveling without a car, don’t worry. You can easily get to La Fortuna by shuttle from either airport (about $55 per person).

Traveling without a car?

Uber or the DiDi app can get you back and forth to La Fortuna for about $10 per trip, or we can connect you with a local driver.

However, you should be aware that the area isn’t easily walkable. There’s a nice little restaurant and a very small convenience store within a mile, but you’ll be walking uphill on the way back. One mile down the hill are more restaurants, grocery stores, etc.

It’s doable if you’re an intrepid traveler who’s used to hot weather and long uphill walks, but the average person on vacation will find it a bit isolated without a car.

Flights

• Airports: San Jose (SJO) is the largest airport, and where most people arrive. But sometimes you’ll find a better price to Liberia (LIR). Both are about a 2.5 hour drive and offer shuttle service to La Fortuna.
• Cheapest Months: January, February, September, and October offer the lowest average fares.
• Most Expensive Months: December and July are priciest, and the week between Christmas is the worst time to fly.
• Airlines: American Airlines, Southwest, United, and Delta all have regular routes from the US.
