Alajuela, Costa Rica
Lake Arenal, nestled in the foothills of Arenal Volcano, is Costa Rica's premier inland kitesurfing destination. The large freshwater lake provides ample space, steady winds, and beautiful views of the volcano and surrounding rainforest. The area is well-developed for ecotourism, with hotels, restaurants, and adventure sports nearby. The kitesurfing community is small but welcoming, and several local operators offer lessons and rentals. The wind is strongest from December to April, making it a popular winter escape for kiters from North America.
