This is the best & last store on the way to the Villa Hermosa from the center of La Fortuna. It's located on the main road past the cemetery and has the BEST selection of items. Items you can get here that you cannot get at our closer stores: Fresh Poultry, Fresh Fish & good selection of fruits & veggies.

This is a beautiful place to hike, best to get there as soon as they open when it's less crowded and the animals are the most active. It's very thick & jungly so you can go for a "beautiful hike" but if you want to see animals through the foliage, hire a guide (ahead of time). Close to Lake Arenal.
