What to Expect on the Route to La Fortuna

The journey begins in Punta Cacique on Costa Rica's northern Pacific coast and continues inland toward the La Fortuna and Arenal region.

The trip is completed entirely by road. Depending on road conditions and the final destination, the journey may travel through the Guanacaste interior and the Lake Arenal area before reaching La Fortuna.

Because accommodations around La Fortuna are distributed across several areas, the exact destination is important when arranging the transfer. A property in downtown La Fortuna, near the hot springs area or outside the town center may require a different final section of the journey.

Pickup at Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique

Pickup can be coordinated at Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique according to the resort access instructions and the meeting point confirmed with your reservation.

Providing the complete hotel name is important because Punta Cacique is located near several other coastal destinations and resort areas in Guanacaste.
