Canoa Aventura has been running the quiet water around La Fortuna for years: safari floats on the Peñas Blancas where you drift rather than paddle and the wildlife stays put, canoe trips on the lake and the rivers, guided walks on the volcano trails and the hanging bridges.
This is the alternative to the adrenaline menu that dominates La Fortuna — better for birds, sloths and caiman than for a story about rapids.
