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.

5.00Our tour guide made this hike such a memorable experience. He kept us laughing with his jokes, shared fascinating facts about the environment, and even taught us some Spanish phrases along the way. Since we were the first tour of the day, we got to the site before anyone else. We could choose between easy or challenging trails, relaxed or adventurous routes. Of course, we picked adventure. The hike was both beautiful and informative. When we reached the waterfall, the real fun began. The crystal-clear water was so refreshing, and the falls were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide captured incredible photos and videos and even hyped up my girlfriend as she jumped off a rock into the water. We’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.
The perfect day with On the Road Costa Rica

5.00What 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....
