    Hiking

    To reach the „Catarata de La Fortuna“ you need to step down a 600m walkway. You will hear it from the main entrance and your way down enjoy several views on the water fall. Down there you can take a swim, so bring your stuff! The way is paved concrete, but the ascent takes some breath away 😉. Enjoy also the tucans at the entrance office. Besides three different species at the same time, we also spotted parakeets in the nearby trees.
