El Salto Pool

Highlight • River

The El Salto Pool can be reached via a small and very short trail (a few hundred meters) from a parking lot. Parking costs 2,000 CRC (as of November 2022). The parking lot and the trail can also be reached on foot from the city of La Fortuna in about 20-25 minutes.

No entrance fee for the trail or the river.
