"La Fortuna" is Spanish for "The Fortune", and aptly named due its ample supply of
tourist attractions and extremely fertile lands. Although there is a common myth that the town got its
name due to its sparing from the Arenal Volcano's eruptions, the town actually got its name before the latest
eruption cycle and was named for the fertile lands ("The Fortune") where it is located.
Due to being in the tropics, the climate of La Fortuna and Costa Rica in general does not vary greatly like those areas in the temperate zones.
The four seasons are not all experienced in La Fortuna, which means one can expect close to 12 hours of daylight at any time of the year. The biggest
changes in temperature are the effect of the wet and dry seasons. With the dry season being more subject to direct and intense sunlight, there is a
resulting higher average temperature of above 25 C (77 F). The wet season, however, usually includes higher levels of humidity which may be perceived
as very warm. The annual average temperature in La Fortuna is between 20 C and 26 C (68 F to 78 F).
