About this experience
Why you should choose this tour?
- Because it’s a shame visit Costa Rica not visiting the Tropical Rainforest, recognized as one of the things you should visit before died.
- Because you probably won’t have the opportunity to see a sloth in its natural habitat, and trust me, this creature is one of the cutes animals in the world.
- Because you will have the opportunity to swim safely in a spectacular, natural, high and wide waterfall in the middle of the jungle.

Llanos de Cortez is one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful waterfalls. The falls are wide and wispy, with thin streams of water tumbling along the mossy rocks. Rocky cliffs are visible through the transparent cascade, thick forest surrounds the fall and at the base of the falls is a nice pool that is good for swimming or wading, and there is a sandy area to just hang out and relax.
