Highlights
  • 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.

After the hike, we will enjoy an amazing local lunch in the center of Liberia.

On The Road Costa Rica took care of us! - This was our second “chance of a lifetime” excellent excursion with Verny and On the Road Costa Rica. This company takes care of every detail from pick up to drop off. “No worries, Mommy, Verny will take care of that.” My kids said that more than once. And as a single mom traveling abroad, what more could you ask for. We felt safe to explore which makes the experience even more exciting!! We felt accomplished and proud, United helping one another experience the best waterfall adventure I’ve ever done. Verny embodies the meaning of Pura Vida showing such grace and gratitude for all living beings. Cheers to the best mango pineapple and dragonfruit we have ever tasted. We love Verny and On the Road Costa Rica like family. I will ALWAYS book with On The Road.

REQUEST VERNY FOR YOUR GUIDE! Great Tour Experience! - VERNY - BEST TOUR GUIDE OF ALL TIMES! No kidding when I say that we were in such great hands with Verny from start to finish. He has a saying that when you are with him you are his adopted family and he certainly did well to make us feel cared for. From his perfectly friendly and charismatic demeanor, to his extremely passionate delivery of instructions and information, there is no doubt that he truly loves his job and feels honored to host guests in Costa Rica. I am not a swimmer (extremely hydrophobic) Verny did so well to cater to my comfort in deep waters during the hike, and he carefully watched over our every step along the way. He even picked up fresh fruit for us to enjoy at the waterfall, stopped for treats/souvenirs. His attention to detail and his high standard of service, safety and hospitality truly exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t wave wished for a better experience or a more accommodating guide. Thank you for such a wonderful and amazing experience!
