Beautiful...worth the walk back!! Ask how to go all the way down by stairs all the way down to the calm water away from waterfall.

Absolutely unbelievable experience visiting La Fortuna waterfall! The scenery has been maintained as natural can be expected. We saw a toucan on the bridge through the park! The waterfall was amazing and the waters were clean. We chose the option of adding lunch to our tickets. Lunch and the service was great! The food and selection was delicious and well worth the cost. The service was prompt and our servers were personable. 10/10 recommend this experience!!!

What a beautiful place! First time in Costa Rica and I was glad I reserved a pass to the waterfall. Walking to the waterfall was a breeze, and a big surprise to see two waterfalls! I only thought there was one. The main waterfall was amazing! I don't see how people could swim or even be in those waters because today they were really rough. Just the sound and power of it had me in awe. Now the walk back...phew! The stairs were rough but definitely a great workout. Needed that. The staff were all pleasant and professional. My lunch meal was DELICIOUS! The tilapia was seasoned and not bland and really good. Overall, I enjoyed my hike to the falls. Although I didn't see how to get to the other side where people were, I'm still satisfied with my purchase. I'll definitely be back with my family in the future.
