How difficult are the 500 steps at the waterfall?

The descent is relatively easy, but the climb back up can be strenuous. There are resting points along the way, and the swim at the bottom is well worth the effort!

Is lunch included in the tour price?

Yes, a full traditional Costa Rican lunch (Casado) is included in this combo tour package.

Can I swim at the waterfall?

Absolutely! You can swim in the crystal-clear pool at the base of the waterfall or in the calmer waters of the river downstream.

Is this tour suitable for families?

Yes, it's a great family adventure. However, keep in mind the 500 steps at the waterfall might be challenging for very young children or those with mobility issues.

What kind of lunch is served?

We serve a 'Casado', which includes rice, beans, salad, plantains, and your choice of protein (chicken, beef, fish, or vegetarian).

What happens if it rains?

The tour operates rain or shine. The rainforest is beautiful in the rain, and the waterfall becomes even more powerful and dramatic.

How long is the actual hiking portion?

The volcano hike usually lasts about 2 hours, and the waterfall visit takes another 1.5 to 2 hours including swimming time.

Is transport from my hotel included?

Yes, round-trip transportation from most hotels in the La Fortuna area is included in the tour price.
