Here you can experience one of the few free attractions in Costa Rica. Left and right of the bridge you can make yourself comfortable in the perfectly warm river. Directly in front of the bridge there is a guarded parking lot (low cost). You can also park for free on the roadside (but behind! The white road marking). My tip: comes here only after 7pm. It is then already dark, but when the eyes have got used to it, there is enough light. But above all because of the crowds then less. Ticos and tourists have discovered the river for themselves. From La Fortuna, on the left side of the bridge you can walk quite a bit up the right bank of the river. There it is usually a little quieter and it has wonderful pools and rapids.

I stopped by this place on my bike tour this January. I was there early in the morning and was no people around. I'm not sure about night visit as terain is very rough and slippery and one can easily slip and fall. Water is just right temperature.
