in La Fortuna
A perfectly conical volcano, thundering waterfalls, volcanic hot springs, and the greenest rainforest canopy you will ever walk through: adventure capital of Costa Rica.
Travel better in La Fortuna with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in La Fortuna spends about ~$35–75 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of La Fortuna.
Go deeper
The best experiences in La Fortuna (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Pura Vida Attitude
Costa Rica's national motto "pura vida" (pure life) is more than a slogan. It is a genuine philosophy of positivity, gratitude, and taking things as they come. Embrace it and you will connect with locals on a deeper level. Use it as a greeting, farewell, or expression of appreciation.
Eco-Consciousness
Costa Rica is a world leader in conservation, with over 25% of the country protected. Support this by choosing eco-certified operators, staying on marked trails, never feeding wildlife, and disposing of waste responsibly. Leave every place better than you found it.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the La Fortuna travel guide.
