Between Monteverde & Arenal

The quickest daily route is across Lake Arenal!

Picture

Take a shuttle van to the lake then a small ferry across Lake Arenal and then another shuttle on the other side for just $32 per adult!

Picture
Picture
La Fortuna, Arenal, is at an altitude of about 1,150 feet / 350 meters, 
while Monteverde is atop of the continental divide at about 4,900 feet 1,500 meters.

These two popular tourist zones seem close enough, but by road it can take 4 to 5 hours in this mountainous region because there isn't a direct route. 
Picture
Picture
This wonderful twice-daily taxi/boat short-cut means just about 2 and a half hours of fun travel, with beautiful views of Arenal Volcano the lake and the highlands of Costa Rica.
