Itinerary
- 1Discovering Cortes Falls is like entering paradise. If you have time to visit only one waterfall in Costa Rica, make Cortes Waterfalls. Scramble down a short, steep trail to reach the spectacular 15 meters high, 15 meters wide waterfall, which you’ll hear before you see. The falls drop into a tranquil pond which takes it source from the Potrero river, originating at Orosi Volcano. With a white sandy beach that’s perfect for swimming and sunbathing, these falls are considered among the most spectacular in Costa Rica. You have the option of relaxing to the sounds of nature or engage in a small walk that will lead you to a second natural pond. There, you can swim in more fresh waters of adventure yourself at jumping to the waters from a higher level. You may choose to return to the fall or continue the venture through an amazing hiking trail where you can, at times, see monkeys playing in the lush forest.

- Amy M0 contributionsOne of my favorite tours of the trip.This was a great day. We took tons of great pictures of all types of wildlife and plants. The coffee was amazing and lunch was perfect. Our guide was Ernesto and he was the best!Written 3 October 2024
- Travel168303487600 contributionsAbsolutely the best excursions!!Gabriel was the best tour guide ever!!! We had him for your horseback riding/ tubing/ zip lining/ hot springs and then we asked for him again!!Written 15 August 2024
- bethdI807IY0 contributionsGreat outing for kids and adults. Our family included ages 8-73. We all enjoyed it immensely!Our grandchildren, ages 8, 9, 10, & 11, loved seeing a host of birds, monkeys, and crocs. So fun! Lunch and refreshments were great, too, in a beautiful and interesting river retreat. Wonderful guides and drivers.Written 4 August 2024
- Deborah D0 contributionsExcellent day!Punctual and knowledgeable, Gabriel was a good driver and a wonderful guide. He showed us so many animals and local stops for reasonably priced souvenirs.Written 3 July 2024
- jamesandbetsyd0 contributionsPura VidaThis was an amazing experience. Guillermo was a fantastic guide. We really enjoyed talking to him and learned so much about Costa Rica from him. And the 4 in 1 experience was unforgettable. The tubing was exhilarating yet relaxing, the ziplining was unmatched, and there could have been no better way to unwind than by unwinding in the hot springs at the endWritten 2 June 2024
- I7394JIdonnaa0 contributionsCrocs and Birds and MONKEYS! OH MYWe were blown away by our trip to the river. Memo, our AMAZING Driver and guide took us to see locals diving for buckets of mineral rich soils that were hauled by gorgeous oxen. We were offered fresh cantaloupe by a fellow on the way and Memo drove us through his small village on the way to Palo Verde. We learned SO MUCH. Once at the very “ Green” River we were helped onto a comfortable covered boat with Manuel as our Captain and Andres as our “ Naturalist’s guide” We saw amazing birds, lizards, crocodiles and bats native to the region. We were told by Memo that nature has no guarantees but I can assure that the river ride was green and fresh and simply beautiful A high point was seeing 3 of the 4 species of monkeys in Costa Rica. This was “ highly unusual” according to all guides but Manuel was truly an “ animal whisperer” so howler, spider and capuchin monkeys all came to hang out! The capuchins ( like Marcel from Friends) were inches away as Manuel chatted to the wee creatures with adorable porcelain looking faces. Great photo ops for sure Lunch at a family owned restaurant offered a chance to see Maria make tortillas over a wood fire. Delicious juice from the area was cold and plentiful with tortilla, rice, beans, fire barbecued chicken and a salad made from another local fruit was all sensational and plentiful served “ family style”. Dragonfruit and coconut ice cream finished off the meal. SO TASTY! Clean bathrooms and great coffee at this spot too. All included. There were some lovely unique souvenirs at very reasonable prices tucked away in a corner for our interest but no pressure to buy A local potter was teaching us his craft and small pieces were available but again NO PRESSURE Memo made sure our very comfy, high quality van was cool and he told us several times that he was there at our service and we should be worry free! We thank Kevin for booking this trip and we could not get over the personalized, quick and kind service provided We have requested Memo for another tour tomorrow. Once again Kevin has planned an itinerary that is personal and thoughtful. We can’t wait to see Memo again. Service was beyond our wildest expectations Thank you from our huge Canadian Hearts COSTOURS are FIRST CLASS all the way!Written 8 April 2024

- gr8tadventures0 contributionsDream FulfilledI thought I'd done a review, but apparently not. This was an excellent way to experience the countryside, the flora, the fauna. The two main residents I wanted to see were red dart frogs and sloths. Saw plenty of both. It was an amazing day. Our driver and tour guides were very knowledgeable. Spending the day outdoors, looking upwards in the trees for the camouflaged sloths was a fun game. We went to two different areas- one was established for sloth viewing and second one was just starting out with banana trees. At the second one we saw a mama and baby, a lone male, and a young one about 6 months old climbing thru the banana leaves. My heart was full.Written 27 February 2024
- MsHutz0 contributionsLadies Trip of 6 for sunshine & slothsWhat an absolutely fantastic experience. Our driver/guide was professional, timeliness was on point and we got to see SLOTHS!!! The nature tour was incredible, saw so many beautiful animals. The lunch was great, and suitable for a celiac friend we had with us! The swim was an unexpected highlight and all the things we did felt private and not swamped with tourists. Would HIGHLY recommend!Written 18 February 2024
- Q9024UIandrewl0 contributionsProfessional and Hassle-freeCostour provided a seamless and efficient experience to complete a border run. From the quick response to my inquiry about scheduling, to the flexible pick-up locations in and around Coco, the entire trip was a breeze. Their professional driver guided every step in the process of paying the exit taxes, navigating the Nicaraguan customs entry and exit process, and re-entering Costa Rica. I will always use Costour for this excursion.Written 8 February 2024

- 824pierrew0 contributionsA Border Run with no PainA Border Run with no Pain! My Costa Rican visa was about to expire on November 7, 2023, so I decided to participate in a border run organized and led by Costour on November 6. I very much appreciated the assistance we continuously got from the driver of their maxi-van during the run. He very well deserves our congratulations for his excellent service. I definitely intend to use the Costour service again the next time that I need to participate in a border run. Despite the fact that the Costa Rican/Nicaraguan border was closed for an hour due to a prisoner exchange once we got there, it was truly a run without pain.Written 14 November 2023
- gracetzhang130 contributionsWhat an amazing adventureCostours was absolutely amazing! The 4-in-1 adventure package was such a wonderful experience. It’s truly the do it all package. Our guide, Memo, was so accommodating, fun, and knowledgeable. The horseback riding, zip lining, and the tubing at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin was fantastic. The horses were super well trained, the tubing and zip lining was facilitated by an excellent team to ensure your safety. The tour ended with the hot springs which was the perfect ending to the day. We also used Costours for our airport transportation and they’re always on time, prompt and extremely friendly. Highly recommend the Costours team! Pura Vida!Written 8 October 2023

This tour was unforgettable. Our guide, Pepito, was really cool, showing us all the best places for pictures, and stopping at points of interest along the way. He clearly knows and loves Costa Rica a lot! For lunch he took us to a local soda that he likes. The food was amazing! The waterfall was beautiful, we had so much fun!

We just completed our trip to the falls. We had a wonderful time. Our guide was exceptional at explaining the local area to and from the falls. The waterfalls is surrounded by natural beauty and the water is exceptional clear and refreshing. We did even have a howler monkey as a visitor. The stop at the local stand for lunch was a wonderful first time experience for my wife and myself. It is nice to experience something you cannot experience where we live. Great job Costours

We were lucky enough to visit this with Costa Rica Unique Tours on a day in which the water was absolutely perfect for swimming. Others had told us that during the rainy season sometimes it is too dangerous to swim there.
It were a few other people there, but it wasn't all that crowded. I think there is a huge advantage to traveling to Costa Rica during the low tourist season!

Had a lovely drive to the falls from Playa de Coco and had a swim to relax, when we arrived. The falls weren't to crowded in the morning when we were there, but I have head it can be busy. A bit of a walk down and back up to falls, but the well maintained cement steps made it easy to do. A definite to see if in the area.

O my gosh- The waterfall was amazing but out tour guide Eve made it even better. He truly loves what he does. Offered so much information about the country and pointed out things to us on our drive- monkey's, volcano's, mango trees etc. It was a wonderful learning experience. He also took us to a Soda on the way home- we got to experience local food- so fresh. Book all your trips through Costours- just let them know what you want to do and Eve will more than meet your expectations . Also- there was a long rocky walk to the waterfalls so wear good walking shoes.
