Church in La Fortuna de San Carlos is one of La Fortuna's tourist attractions. An interesting and typical Catholic church for this geographical area. It is interesting that there is no crucified Christ like most temples, but the image of the risen Christ ascending to heaven. Next to the park in the center of La Fortuna, you should stop to see that building and take a photo with the Arenal volcano.

We visited this church on a Sunday night for mass. We were going to eat dinner then attend 7pm mass but luckily saw that mass started at 6pm. It is very difficult to find current mass times for this church. If you are wanting to attend a service, ask around beforehand to double check what time it starts.

A nice enough small chapel with an imposing tower in somewhat poor condition. Photo op from park across the street to see the church in front of the volcano. They did have a lovely nativity scene and a talkative docent.

Stopped in La Fortuna at the central plazs and church. Thought the alignment of the plaza, church, and Arenal volcano was very interesting (good work Españoles). Got a great picture while there. Beautiful little place.

We have visited this church which is a Catholic church each of the four times that we have been in La Fortuna. What is very striking is the beautiful depiction of the Resurrection of Christ above the central altar. It is a very simple church interior.

This is a lovely small park with the church in the backdrop. Work is being done on the church so no real impressive photos.

This church is located in the center of La Fortuna. You literally can’t miss it. In front of the church is a plaza with a fountain where you can take great pictures with the church and volcano in the background. Definitely worth taking 15 or 20 minutes to walk around.

I have not entered the church but it looks nice from the outside. I never took time to see it from the inside but it is definitely a good reference point.

Located in the center of San carlos/ La Fortuna the church is simple but blends nicely in its environment. On Sundays the square around it is full of people, some of them selling food, artifacts or souvenirs. Many restaurants nearby.

I will be staying at the arenal lodge (White Hawk Villa and would like to attend Mass at the church. I see you have Masses on Saturday and Sunday at 7PM. How difficult is it to get to the church from the White Hawk Villa?

No soy de Costa Rica pero yo y mi novio de 10 anos planeamos ir en septiembre para nuestro aniversario. nos Ăbamos a casar hace Ăşn año por la iglesia pero decidimos que una fiesta grande no era para nosotros. Preferimos algo pequeño nada más nosotros dos. PudiĂ©ramos casarnos en esta iglesia ? Que se necesitarĂa ? Y cuales son los requisitos. Gracias! -melissa
