The Best ATV Adventure: Muddy Trails, Wildlife & Arenal Views
Our adventure begins at the private farm La Naciente, just minutes from La Fortuna downtown. Here, we’ll set off on muddy trails through the primary rainforest. We start with a safety briefing and a practice circuit to get comfortable with the ATVs. Then, we head out onto the crazy trails of La Naciente, driving through challenging paths surrounded by lush vegetation and local wildlife. Along the way, we stop at Quebrada Platanillo, a micro-basin of the Arenal River that supplies water, and this is also where we can spot the impressive Watusi bulls, famous for their distinctive horns. Next, we visit the picturesque village of La Guaria which keeps the “fortuneños” culture, where we explore its church and its old local store (pulpería). We continue along open trails, crossing natural puddles, until we reach the Arenal River, where we take a break to capture photos and enjoy the scenery. On the way back, we stop at Rancho La Poza for a snack and some relaxation in its outdoor pool.
