La Fortuna Waterfall is a must-see when in La Fortuna. It’s a spectacular and powerful waterfall just about 8 min drive from town. It opens at 8 am, and we recommend going early because it’s quite popular. The entrance fee is 18 USD per person, and then walk down to the waterfall is about 10 min.

The waterfall is easy to reach because paths and stairs are all paved. The water is quite cold and perfect for a refreshing dip. You can swim at the bottom of La Fortuna Waterfall.
