Discover the Magic of Llanos del Cortés

As the afternoon rain showers roll in, head to the Llanos del Cortés Waterfall, a natural oasis surrounded by lush vegetation. The waterfall forms a beautiful curtain of water, creating a serene pond where you can swim or simply relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The sound of the falling water adds a magical touch to the experience, making it a must-visit spot in Bagaces.

For those seeking a more structured adventure, the Rainforest Safari is available on May 10th and 11th from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This safari takes you on a journey through the tropical forest, where you can observe a variety of wildlife, including toucans, sloths, and monkeys. The tour concludes with a traditional Costa Rican meal, offering a taste of the local culture.

“Amazing Costa Rica excursions - We did three separate activities through Erlan and Carlos. All were booked on the beach at Planet Hollywood resort and were great. As a family of three, we did private excursions as it was nearly the same price. This offer is the flexibility to spend more time and not be rushed through any activity.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-27
