Juan Carlos

This is THE MAN, when it comes to exploring the Fortuna/Arenal area.

Juan Carlos grew up in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano and knows the area like no other.

We are lucky in that he found us and he only works with the guests here at the hotel.

Juan knows all about the plants (and their medicinal value) and it is really, actually, good stuff. We have had guests that have had welts all over their bodies from bug bites, and he can pull out some leaves and roots and the bumps have dwindled down in a matter of hours.

Even Mom and Pop Eidson have gone with him and enjoyed the hikes, lest folks think we are shilling shamelessly.
