Start at Arenal Waterfall Lodge

Highlight • Parking

We were supposed to pay $15 per person not for parking but just for the short walk across the lodge area. According to the lodge staff, the actual trail is of course free. Of course we didn't do the hike because we think that a hike on public paths for 2 people for $30 is a real rip-off. We would like many people not to support this rip-off and to look for other free trails.

La Fortuna Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall costs around €20, but is definitely worth it. You can swim below.
