Waterfalls galore

Published on Jan, 2025

The La Paz Waterfall Gardens were incredible. Definitely worth visiting. We enjoyed seeing all the different birds, butterflies and animals but the highlight for me was the waterfall trail. Absolutely gorgeous! Park is well maintained. I would visit if again.

Must see

Published on Jan, 2025

Very well done park. A lot of attention to detail on making it a beautiful place to visit. Must do if staying near San Jose. Even the buffet lunch was good, and I'm not usually a fan of park food.

Highly Recommend a visit to La Paz

Published on Jan, 2025

We really enjoyed the La Paz water gardens . The toucans and hummingbird feeding stations next to the restaurant were two of the highlights. The gardens are beautiful and we also really enjoyed the walk down the series of waterfalls - these were particularly impressive because of the amount of rain that had been falling in the days (and hours infact) before. We had lunch on site which was reasonably priced and tasty. Overall we are really pleased we did this visit and highly recommend it - good value for money and the gardens were incredibly beautiful. Be aware that at the gift shop at the end of the waterfall walk many items do not have prices marked so ask before you buy.

Excellent

Was very good not to crowded little rain for couples minutes and beautiful views. Easy itinerary from San Jose with a rented car.

My tour guide, Pablo, excelled on yesterday's waterfall tour. The Poas Volcano was awesome. John Jiménez was great

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour guide, Pablo, excelled on yesterday's waterfall tour. The waterfall tour comes highly recommended. The Poas Volcano Tour proved to be an exciting adventure. John Jiménez's guidance was exceptional. Wear comfortable shoes to ensure a pleasant experience. I had an awesome massage by Maira.
