Arenal Area Activities
The Lake Arenal area has many activities ranging from walking tours to canyon rapelling adventures. Our area is famous for its zip-line tours, where you are strapped to a cable strung above the jungle canopy and fly from one end to the other. Most zip-lines have six to eight cables in a tour, and are run by reputable companies. There are two zip-lines in the La Fortuna area, one in El Castillo, and one in Nuevo Arenal.
