- Curubandé de Liberia - 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.

Le Leona Falls is an amazing adventure! So much to see and learn about! - The views were breath taking and the hike was truly an amazing adventure. Verny and Noel were our guides and they both were amazing and everyone one was so friendly! The water was flowing a little to hard to make it to the falls but that did not matter, the whole experience was incredible!

Best tour of our 10 day Costa Rica trip so far! - If you are on the fence, stop debating and do it!
First, Bernie, our guide, was amazing. He was very thoughtful and made sure everyone on the tour was well cared for. I had surgery (tummy tuck revision) about 2 months before this tour and he stayed close to me to ensure I stayed safe.
The hike wasn’t too bad for someone out of shape like me. I’d say it’s a moderate level hike.
You can keep your belongings safe in the van during the tour so you don’t have to carry a waterproof book bag. If you are a photo person, be sure to get waterproof phone lanyards.
There are multiple opportunities to change; however, I recommend wearing your bathing suit the whole day and bringing dry clothes after.
The waterfall… It was glorious to see. There’s a bit of an intense part where you have to hold a rope to get to the waterfall because you are going against the current. Once you get to the waterfall, there’s a large slippery rock. Be safe but it was totally worth the effort!

Great operator and guide - This operator was very accommodating, responsible and responsive and we had a great time. We had booked the La Leona tour. Due to a particularly heavy rainfall the week before, the operator and Verny (the guide) told us they were concerned that the current through the canyon was unusually strong and dangerous. They provided us with ample information and gave the option to go to La Leona, cancel, or go on an alternative tour that Verny helped to customize according to our preferences, understanding that we were looking for something active/adventurous. We decided to go on an alternative tour (a different swimmable waterfall, a sloth/wildlife area, and a nature hike with hanging bridges), customized to our preferences. We were so glad that we did. Verny was an absolutely wonderful guide - he did everything in his power to make sure we were enjoying the day, seeing wildlife up close, and doing the most activities we could. He brought a large lens to help us capture wildlife photos. I can’t recommend him enough. We later learned that the operator’s prediction about the conditions was accurate. We appreciated the honesty, flexibility and responsibility shown by On the Road Costa Rica.

Amazing! - Everything about this company and its experience was amazing! First, the owner of "On the Road Costa Rica" (Anthony) called me last night to let us know about the conditions of the place we were scheduled to go. I appreciated his honesty and at the end of our conversation decided to move forward. Today, we found out that (due to weather conditions) we couldn't do that tour, but our tour guide Verny took his time to explain other options we could do. Once we decided where we were going, Verny didn't skip a beat. He did a great job keeping us entertained on our ride to the waterfalls and back. He shared so much knowledge about Costa Rica and all the different species that reside here. My husband, who normally isn't a nature guy even loved it. We couldn't say enough about this company and their tour guide Verny. We will definitely be back and make sure we book our tours and transportation with them. If you're looking for a transparency, good and honest company that will make you feel part of their family, look no further.

Best of the best!! - Can I rate this 10 stars plus? Our guide Verny was nothing short of amazing. We have done lots of tours in many countries and he outshines them all between his knowledge, friendliness, and photography skills.
He picked us up on time and gave us choices on the route we would drive. He stopped to buy us fruit when we asked about what they were selling and showed us how to eat it. (He later bought more for us to snack on during the hike.).
The hike itself is not overly difficult. I’m almost 62 and in reasonable decent shape and my partner is 65 with a cranky knee. We had no trouble. I do recommend that you use a life vest even if you are a good swimmer. There are strong currents and many rocks.
Verny pointed out many bits of nature along the way and told so much of the history of Costa Rica. This man truly loves his job!! We absorbed it all!!
And to add to the very best, he tool so many great pictures and videos of us that we couldn’t have done ourselves and sent them all to us after he got home. We have never had that happen before! Sure, some will grab your phone to take a picture of you but none that use their own to take so many awesome photos of both us and the nature we saw!! Thank you Verny!!!

Best excursion - Most amazing tour with family! Perfect amount of site seeing and adventure with top notch experienced guides. If there was only one excursions you could go on I would say, do La Leona! Oue guide, Verny, made us all feel safe and was very knowledgable throughout every part of the tour. Thanks for a great time and great memories!!!
