Amazing waterfall - Well worth the 500+ steps to see the beautiful waterfall and have a dip in the pools at the bottom. The walk down is a built path, mostly steps. It is hard going on the way back up! The rocks in the pools are slippery and tricky to walk on - definitely worth sandals or beach shoes.

Beautiful waterfall! - Beautiful spot. Can be crowded and hard to get pics. Be prepared for 15 min stairs all the way down and back up! Quite the workout lol. But nonetheless, deff worth the visit!

Absolutely Breathtaking — A Must-Do in La Fortuna - Visiting La Fortuna Waterfall was one of our absolute favorite experiences of our honeymoon. Everything was so well maintained — from the clean, organized facilities at the top to the sturdy, well-kept stairs leading down. The waterfall itself is stunning, powerful, peaceful, and surrounded by lush greenery. The shallow pools nearby were unbelievably blue and clear, perfect for relaxing and taking in the view. We loved that the staff carefully managed the number of visitors at the bottom, so it never felt crowded. We stayed for about two hours, completely enchanted. It was truly magical — a must-see for anyone visiting the area.

Best thing in Costa Rica! - This was the best thing we did in Costa Rica, better than snorkeling, better than zip lines, better than tubing the river!! It was epic! The last waterfall was legit, but I'm glad i did it!!

La Fortuna Waterfall - This is a must see waterfall. Yes it is 530 steps down a paved path but it is worth it. If you want to you can swim in this clear water. They have clean restrooms, showers, changing areas along with restaurants, snacks, and drinks.

La fortuna waterfall! - Easy hike down to a beautiful picturesque waterfall where you can swim ! So worth it! We got awesome pics and were able to swim. 500 steps down and 500 down so just be aware of that. But paved and easy

Beautiful! Yet 500 stairs back up! - Beautiful waterfall. Be prepared for all the stairs as it is not for everyone. The restaurant and gift shop were also nice. 4 stars only because of the stairs, but that’s not a reflection on the excursion. We did not swim at the base which might have given more rest

Go early - Go early to avoid the crowds! We went during end of September and got there right when it opened. There were only two others there when we arrived and then had the place to ourselves for around 20 minutes. More people started to show up after about an hour. I don't think we would have enjoyed it as much if we went when it was crowded as there's not that much space. The walk was very easy and the stairs are well maintained. We didn't actually skip any line but the ticket was the same price as buying it online so it saved us a few minutes.
