La Leona Waterfall Adventure Hike

👍👍 Great experience. The views on the hike start great. Once you get to the actual waterfall it truly is a hidden gem. Our guide Jacky was excellent, safety, information, and help. He was there for us the entire way. The trail is a bit tricky and you have to watch you step. But try to take a co...

👍👍 Definitely a must-do experience. No guide necessary. It’s a long steep climb back up from the waterfall, but not a problem if you are in good shape. Highly recommend hiking to the end of the trail (past the waterfall) and seeing where the blue starts (two rivers come together and the water turns blu...

Night Walk Tour
Tourist attraction
😐 Nice tour, nice guide. I’m surprised there are almost only 5 star reviews however. We do not go deep in the forest (e.g. The last 20 minutes were spent looking for insects in the parking lot). We saw nice insects and an owl. 30$ seems expensive for what i saw, but nice activity to do in monteverde.

👍👍 Love the zip lining here! It’s very safe and profession and… very fast! We’ve spotted some good wildlife here including Tucans and white faced monkeys. Their photography is excellent as well. So far my family has zip lined here 8-9 times and we frequently recommend it to friends.
