LA FORTUNA FALLS
LA FORTUNA, COSTA RICA

 

 

This is a nice 1/2 day trip. La Fortuna falls is popular with tourist and locals, not just for viewing the falls but there is excellent swimming holes just below the fall and you can also swim right in the pool the falls fall into but the approach to that pool is very rocky and wet. The falls are about 70 meters high and the sound it makes if deafening. The hike to the falls is about one mile down hill from the entrance. Considerable work has been done to the trail with the installation of steps and railings. Much safer than when I first went here 10 years ago.

 

 

Entrance to the park is $15 usd. for adults and $5 for children. It can get very crowded, especially around lunch time. definitely a great experience to swim in this river and falls.

 

 

Directions: Drive south out of La Fortuna on the American Hwy for 1.5 kilometers. Turn right on Diagonal 301 and follow to the end. The parking area and entrance station is on the right.
