About this tour
Our take
A full day inland rather than a beach day: the Llanos de Cortés waterfall at Bagaces, a two-hour hike in Tenorio Volcano National Park, and a sloth and frog sanctuary on an organic farm. Worth knowing what that last stop is — resident animals at a facility, not a wild sighting. Guanacaste’s dry Pacific lowlands are poor sloth country, which is exactly why this day drives you to wetter forest. Pickup, lunch and park fees included. From $135 per person; prices change.
Llanos de Cortes Waterfall To start your day, we will take you to Llanos de Cortes Waterfall in Bagaces, where you can relax and take a swim at the falls or walk around exploring the flora and fauna. Rio Celeste Waterfall Hike - Tenorio Volcano National Park Upon arriving at the entrance, you will go on a 2 hour moderately difficult hike in the park. You will walk through the rainforest and along the Celeste River where you can observe one of nature's most intriguing phenomenon. Organic Farm - Sloth and Frog Sanctuary After lunch, take a tour on a rural organic farm!
