The waterfall is amazing - you have beautiful views of it on the way in, and the water feels great after the hike down to it. It's very slippery on the rocks getting in and out of the water and the current is strong so you can't get too close. The steps back up are challenging in the heat

The road to La Fortuna Waterfall is good in some parts and rough rocks in other parts. When you finally get to the parking lot, there is a US $10 per person charge to hike down to the waterfall. There Is a platform before you hike down. You can get a good view of the waterfall from here, but there... More

I had read reviews stating that this was a very intense hike to the waterfall and that definitely scared me a little. They charge each person $10 to enter the trail. We had a beautiful day to visit the waterfall and were able to get beautiful pictures from the look out points. The hike down was a little long, but... More

Well worth the intense hike down to the waterfall and then back up. Take your swimsuit and enjoy the pools at the bottom of the falls.

Completely worth the hike down the 300+ stairs. The waterfall was amazing. Bring a swimsuit as it worth while to jump in the water with the falls. The one thing we wished we would have brought was a waterproof camera. The scenery was awesome down by the water but we were nervous to try to take the camera out for... More
