Overview

This private hiking tour lasts about three hours and covers a 2-kilometer (1.5-mile) trail each way near Rincon de la Vieja Volcano in Guanacaste. The route follows the forest alongside the Blanco River, passing unusual rock formations and crossing streams. Participants will climb short ladders and use a rope to enter a large cave behind La Leona Waterfall, which is known for its deep blue water caused by sulfur content. The tour includes dry bags to carry small personal items, access to changing rooms and bathrooms, life jackets if needed, and guidance from experienced tour guides. The hike is moderately difficult and described as treacherous, requiring a good level of fitness. Transportation is not included but can be arranged upon request with a separate quote. La Leona Waterfall is situated in the town of Curubandé, about 20 minutes from Liberia. Its water originates from the Rio Blanco, fed by the volcano's slopes. The vivid blue color of the waterfall distinguishes it from others in Costa Rica. Participants should arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to prepare for the start of the tour. This tour is not suitable for those with knee, ankle, or mobility problems or for those who are out of shape.
