Description

Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel and travel through the beautiful Guanacaste countryside, enjoying scenic views of mountains, tropical forests, ranches, and volcanic landscapes before arriving at the trailhead. Start with a guided hike through a private nature reserve surrounded by lush tropical dry forest. Along the trail, your guide will introduce you to Costa Rica's incredible biodiversity while sharing fascinating information about the local ecosystem, wildlife, and volcanic history of the area. As you continue deeper into the canyon, hike alongside the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Río Blanco. The trail becomes increasingly adventurous as you cross rivers, navigate rocky paths, pass through narrow canyons, and discover small waterfalls hidden within the forest. Enter the impressive canyon that leads to La Leona Waterfall. Before entering the water, all personal belongings are safely stored inside waterproof dry bags provided by your guide. Life jackets are also available for guests who prefer additional flotation or are not confident swimmers. Swim through the canyon's emerald waters, navigate between towering volcanic rock walls, and witness the incredible natural formations created over thousands of years. As you round the final corner, arrive at the breathtaking La Leona Waterfall, where powerful turquoise waters cascade into a stunning natural pool hidden deep inside the canyon. Take time to swim, relax, capture amazing photos, and simply enjoy one of Costa Rica's most beautiful natural wonders. After completing the hike back, enjoy a delicious traditional Costa Rican lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients before returning comfortably to your hotel.
