Don’t miss the La Paz Waterfalls and Gardens

Published on Dec, 2024

A fantastic tour! Even though the Poas Volcano wasn’t visible due rain and fog it was still a great experience. The La Paz Waterfalls are powerful and majestic. The Gardens were the highlight of the trip. We saw an amazing collection of animals (all of them are rescues) in a serene setting. The gardens had monkeys, reptiles, amphibians, sloths, all kinds of jungle cats ( including a jaguar), exotic birds and butterflies that we would not have been able to see otherwise. The lunch was delicious as well. Highly recommend this tour.

Best Tourguides ever

Best Tourguides ever! Thank you, we had a wonderful day, made great experiences and the organisation was fantastic- we hope to see you again- pure vida!

Worth a Look

Published on Mar, 2024

Despite it being too cloudy to see the crater's volcano, we very much enjoyed the tour. The Waterfall Gardens had many animals and birds to see, and the waterfalls themselves were quite picturesque. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and spoke English very well. Be prepared for long travel times, as the roads can be slow if you end up behind large trucks or buses making frequent stops.

Breathtaking and stunning

Published on Feb, 2024

This experience was incredible. The care from Nuria and Edgar was wonderful. The falls were breathtaking and worth the many stairs. The volcano was hard to see due to cloud cover but we got a couple of good photos when the clouds broke. No lagoon for us as the volcano had erupted with hot gases and heat the month before our visit. It was still an interesting site to see. Lots of flora and fauna. Meal at La Paz Waterfalls was plentiful and nice variety. The animal preserve was so much fun and very well maintained. The toucans and hummingbirds were flying around us..one word WOW.
