Excellent day tour - Wonderful place, the shelter is in excellent condition, the whole family really enjoyed learning about the animals that are there. The food at the restaurant was very good. The waterfalls are amazing, quite a sight. Overall the facilities are perfectly maintained, clean and in good condition, something super important when traveling with children. The staff is very friendly, you always feel welcome. But in our tour we have to make a special mention to our guide Mauricio Ulloa, from the pick up he told us about the history of the places we were passing, we had very enjoyable conversations, he was always very attentive to us and giving us the best tips and helping us to take incredible photographs. A highly recommended tour!!!

Best tour guide and experience ever! - Our tour guide, Frank was absolutely amazing!! He took us on the most magical day ever and made it extra special at each place we went. We learned so much from him about Costa Rica and traded Engilsh and Spanish words with each other. This is my honeymoon and my husband and I are SO happy we found this tour guide! The waterfalls were breathtaking and the animal sanctuary was beautiful. There's a whole butterfly and hummingbird garden too. Buffet lunch was delicious. Hands down one of the best days of my husband and my life! Ask for Frank, he's the best!!

La Paz waterfalls and animals. - we did the La Paz waterfall and animal sanctuary tour. the tour was a great time. the views were beautiful, the food was good, and the tour guide Franklin did an amazing job from letting us use an umbrella during the rain to explaining everything about the place and answering any questions we had. Franklin went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

RAINY DAY BUT STILL GORGEOUS - From our hotel in the heart of San José, it took us a little more than an hour to get to La Paz Waterfalls & Sanctuary. We hired the services of a guide and driver. The site has several points of interest, from the butterfly garden, sloth sanctuary, and so much more. The walk through the falls can be either moderately accessible (shorter in time) to more physically strenuous… all depending if you wish to go up and down to the base of the waterfalls. In any event, it’s worthwhile to take day and join a visit to the POAS National Park 20 minutes away.
