Fortuna, sometimes anglicized as Fortune, is the goddess of luck or fortune in Roman religion. She came to represent life's capriciousness, and was a goddess of fate. In antiquity she was also known by the epithet Automatia. Her Greek equivalent is Tyche.

With its lush rainforests, stunning waterfalls, and natural hot springs, Fortuna is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the beauty of Costa Rica's natural wonders. The Arenal Volcano, which dominates the skyline, is an especially impressive sight. Whether you're hiking to its summit or simply admiring it from afar, the volcano is sure to leave you in awe.

But Fortuna isn't just about taking in the scenery. This locality is home to a wide range of activities that will get your heart racing. You can zip-line through the treetops, go white water rafting down the rapids, or take a dip in the hot springs for a relaxing soak.
