The entrance fee jumped up, but it is worth every penny! We went in the morning and took a cab - 7 min from La Fortuna center, it was too hot to walk up. It took us 15-20 min to go down to waterfall and we stopped and took few breaks, took pictures (which turn out perfect). The water was... More

pretty steep hike back up, but worth it! The hike and waterfall are beautiful and the water is nice and cool to take a dip!

Nice waterfall, a good way to spend an hour or so while in Fortuna. Price was high for a trip down and up 500 stairs, but the views are breath-taking. Saw a holwer monkey in a tree just above the Recepcion Area. Walk would be very difficult for someone not in good shape, so plan accrodingly.

We arrived early and were the only ones at the falls - pretty special setting at that time of the day. Great place to swim.

I have to give my advisories first. One, if your map looks anything like the one attached, the location of the waterfall is ALL wrong. The turn off is WAY before rio burro, it's right after rio Havana or fortuna. It may even be then only river you cross after exiting the main town. It shouldn't be more than 5... More

the horseback ride was crazy amazing. You ride on trails that you never thought you would ride on and then you hike to the waterfall to go swimming. Incredible! Would love to do it again!!

Swimming near the waterfall is an unforgettable experience. The view is also amazing, just like in movie. Wish we brought our watershoes as we had to walk on rocks to get there. Had to go through 375 steps to see the waterfall. Well worth it!

it's a steep 'stairway' down, and can e a gut check limbing the stairs back up. Well worth the effort to swim and bask in the sun around the plunge pool - worth getting on a Bucket List.

Just outside the town of La Fortuna is this beautiful gem. Incredible setting after a nice little hike down the mountain. Great job of keeping the place nice and clean - seems as though this is where the money/fees are being spent. Slippery rocks around the pool, but easy viewing areas all around. Nice swimming hole too.
