La Fortuna Waterfall, La Fortuna de San Carlos

It's a great place to visit. I like this waterfall specifically because you can swim here. It's beautiful too, super tall and has great photo opportunities. There's more than 500 steps (each way) but there's spots along the way to take a rest. Kid friendly, I brought my 3 year old and she did fine the whole time, though down at the base its kind of rocky, so you'd want to keep an eye on them the whole time. But yeah again, would definitely recommend checking out this waterfall, it's worth it.

Such a beautiful a beautiful place. The waterfalls are stunning and worth all the stairs. The swimming area has a very nice, covered bench to leave your belongings while you swim. The changing rooms/showers and the bathrooms are well kept and very clean. The orchid and butterfly walks are nice little extras to explore once you've been to the waterfall. We saw a ton of butterflies while it rained!! Everything was well worth the entrance fee!!

A beautiful waterfall very close to La Fortuna. Often offered as "tour" by travel agencies, but you can easily discover it on your own - especially if you have a car (~5km from town). The admission is $15, there is a free parking. There are lockers and even showers at the entrance which is extremely convenient. Keep in mind that there are 500 stairs to take to get t waterfall, going back is a bit of exercise. You can also swim at the waterfall which is a great experience on own.

Breath taking! From the sound of the waterfall to the animals and just everything around it. Just a gorgeous place. There's about 500 steps to go down. Quite a work out but totally worth it. The water is extremely cold but just so inviting. This is a must! (PS. All photos taken from a Google Pixel 2XL)

Trail to the waterfall is well done. It is not a typical dirt trail but instead stairs that follow the steep slope. Great viewing stops along the way and the platforms at the bottom allow for good views of the waterfall. There is a swimming area to the left of the waterfall. Cost is $15 per person. Price is pretty high but if you don’t mind that you can get some wonderful photos of a waterfall.
