Make the time count
Choose La Fortuna or the dam corridor for the waterfall and hanging bridges. Río Celeste Hideaway is a Tenorio base; Río Perdido is in Bagaces; Tronadora is on the western lakeshore. Those moves change your route.
Drive around Lake Arenal to reach Monteverde; a lake transfer is a separate passenger service, not a ferry for your rental car. Confirm the final lodge approach.
