La Leona waterfall is one of the best tours in Costa Rica. The tour consists of walking, swimming, crossing through canyons and caves to reach the waterfall. You will feel lost in the jungle flooded with amazement by the magic of the canyons and the volcanic rock created by the volcanic lava that painted beautiful and impressive works of art. La Leona waterfall is hidden between the canyons which makes it a magical experience for all participants. I know you will like it, the sky blue color of the river, the hike and the waterfall will make you love Costa Rica.

What To Expect

The tour entails a 2-hour hike involving hiking, climbing, and swimming to reach a hidden waterfall nestled in the canyons formed by the lava of the Rincon De La Vieja volcano. The route traverses rocks and rivers with inclines and declines, making it unsuitable for individuals with knee, ankle, or leg issues. For those without mobility problems, including individuals in their 60s or 70s, the activity is relatively easy. Closed shoes are recommended for the hike. Exercise caution with water shoes, as some may have thin soles, potentially causing discomfort towards the end of the excursion. After the hike, we will enjoy an amazing local lunch in the center of Liberia. It’s important to remark that lunch is not included.

What an amazing day! Anthony arrived early to pick us up and transport us to the waterfall entrance. He was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about Costa Rica. We then met our guide, Nacho, who led the hike to La Leona. There were around 10 people in the group. The hike consisted of steps, climbing up and down rocks, some swimming, and then climbing up into the waterfall area. The scenery was beautiful and the water was refreshing. The hike was definitely challenging, but in an exhilarating way! That’s from the perspective of a 50 something woman and a 15-year-old girl. My teenage son also loved it, but called it a moderate hike. Nacho was patient, helped everyone, and took pictures whenever we asked him to. After the hike, Anthony was there to take us back to Tamarindo. But we didn’t go straight back. He took us to a lovely restaurant in Liberia called Sabor Porteno for lunch. Then took us to a souvenir shop, which was much more affordable than in Tamarindo. When we decided we wanted dessert, he took us to Zaguan in Juacus where we had the traditional Churchill cake. The places were all amazing. What a wonderful day! I just can’t say enough about our experience with this company.

This tour was incredible. The transportation was friendly, informative, and even made stops on the way for certain sight seeing that was not a part of the trip. Our tour guide was incredibly helpful and generous. The scenery is beautiful and it truly exceeded my expectations

Excellent service and great price! Our tour guide Verny was AMAZING!!! He picked us up on time in the morning and explained the details of we should expect from the tour. He was such a knowledgeable person and taught us a lot about the history and wild life of Costa Rica. He took lots of great photos from us made this day trip such a memorable experience! He also picked a pineapple in our way to the waterfall and cut it for us after the long hike! Highly recommend this group and specially Verny! Thank you so much!

Bernie and Jason were fantastic tour guides. Very knowledgeable about the area and were able to answer all our questions. The waterfall hike was beyond amazing. Took about 2 hours round trip of hiking and swimming with a nice little rest for some fresh fruits. Would highly recommend this trip for a family with teens
Absolutely a must do!

Absolutely perfect day! Verni was our guide and made the hour and a half drive to the base of the hike so enjoyable with his vast knowledge and passion for this beautiful country. We joined Derek, another guide at the base of the hike, and he was equally as kind and helpful. The hike itself was absolutely exhilarating and so much fun! Verni brought a fresh pineapple that he cut up for us to snack on before making our way out. On the way back to our drop off point, we stopped at the most amazing local buffet for a feast that was one of the best meals we have had since our arrival. I cannot recommend this company and experience enough. Thank you On the Road!!
