    La Fortuna Falls is a very popular destination for both tourist and locals.\u00a0 This is a nice 1\/2 day trip or you can make it a full day it you want to swim.\u00a0 There is an entrance fee that seems to go up every year.\u00a0 The fee is now up to $18.00 per person! Once you pay your fee, you get a wrist band and can enter the park.<\/h4>\n

    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.<\/h4>\nInvalid slider id. Master Slider ID must be a valid number.\n

    It is a steep walk down to the bottom of the falls. Be sure to wear a bathing suit to swim at the falls and the area below that.\u00a0 There has been extensive trail work and now it is a series of well constructed stairs to the bottom.\u00a0 Years past you were able to swim right at the falls but this is now closed.\u00a0 To swim, you have to walk down stream a little bit where there is a sandy bank.\u00a0 It gets very crowded here.<\/h4>\n

    When I first went here in 2006, the entry fee was only $10 and the trail was dangerous but added to the sense of adventure.\u00a0 Now, there really is no adventure to this and at $18 with all the people you encounter, it really is no worth it any longer.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
