Highlights
  • La Leona Waterfall Adventure Hike - La Leona Waterfall is located in the small town of Curubandé, 20 minutes from Liberia in the province of Guanacaste. La Leona is a unique deep blue waterfall rooted between two canyons. It’s one of the few, if not the only, one in Costa Rica with this characteristic.

Its water comes from the “white river” or “Rio Blanco” that finds its source in the skirts of the Volcano Rincon de la Vieja. The color of the water is just amazing, between blue and turquoise, which is explained by the presence of sulfur. It’s definitely a must in this area!

Great Experience with the Most Excellent Guide, Ian! - The La Leona Waterfall tour was absolutely spectacular, offering an unforgettable experience with its breathtaking beauty and scenic landscapes. The hike was invigorating, leading us to the most magnificent waterfall. Our guide, Ian, truly made the experience exceptional—he was not only knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna but also incredibly engaging with our kids. Our 5-year-old was especially charmed by him, and Ian's enthusiasm and expertise significantly enriched the tour. If you plan to go, make sure to request Ian for an unforgettable adventure.

A must do in Costa Rica! - We picked la leona waterfall adventures hike and Our guide was Aaron, a very well experienced and professional guide. He not only explained about the waterfall but also about the trees and animals as we walked on the trails to the waterfall. We always felt very secure and in safe hands with him and we highly recommend you ask for him as your guide as he will be able to enhance this incredible adventure! Definitely great value for money.

Wonderful experience - We had a wonderful time on the tour. Aaron was a really informative and helpful guide. He took photos, made sure we were safe, and gave us so much interesting information about the animals, insects, mushrooms, and nature around us on our way to the waterfall. We saw monkeys, big blue butterflies, all sorts of mushrooms, and interesting insects. The hike itself was a lot of fun we enjoyed the combination of walking, climbing, and swimming and getting to swim and admire so close to the waterfall was a special experience.
