This Costa Rica waterfall guide is the result of over 1 month spent exploring the country, dozens of hours of planning, and my in-person experience. It covers 13 waterfalls in 3 general regions of Costa Rica: La Fortuna, Santa Teresa, and Dominical/Uvita. These falls range from the country’s most popular waterfalls to many of my secret hidden gems (where we were the only tourists with the whole falls to ourselves!!) and even one waterfall where you can sleep behind the falls!

The guide includes an fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to each waterfall. 

It lays out detailed instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to each of the waterfalls. It’s mobile friendly when you download the Thatch App for free so you can easily access all of the info right from your phone! 

I have hand-crafted this guide specifically for adventure travelers (like me!) and feel so confident you will have an amazing trip with this guide by your side 😏 As a part of your purchase of the guide, here are a few promises I can make you:

1. This is a LIVING guide: I will update it as I find more information and discover more places which means you have lifetime access to all updated information as it’s added!

2. I only make guides based on areas I have not only been to but know well! I have spent over 4 weeks exploring Costa Rica in order to narrow down the destinations & experiences I share in this guide. I include both activities that I have done myself as well as those that are on my bucketlist for next time I visit! I will always call out the ones I have not done yet and provide you the exact resources you need to experience them yourself!

3. These guides are completely transparent! You can be sure that all unfiltered opinions I provide are my own 🙃 If I include any sponsored information or affiliate links, I will be sure to call these out directly. I will only include these if they benefit you (such as a discount code or coupon!)

Finally, this is the first time that I am releasing one of my photo presets!!! The preset comes for free included with this guide so you can edit all of your trip photos with that Costa Rica vibe - think rich blues, deep forest greens, and just a touch of grain. These are exclusively for my travel guides as I do not nor have I ever sold them anywhere else! 

This waterfall guide truly is everything you need to plan your entire trip all in one place. I can’t wait to hear & see your adventure! Feel free to send me a DM with your feedback & tag me in your photos! @katbennettphoto

Costa Rica Waterfalls: The Ultimate List

This guide includes “Places” that you can and should click into! Within these “Places” you will get directions directly to either Google or Apple Maps (by clicking “Get Directions”) as well as my additional notes and very important links about the location (in the “Notes” and “Links” sections). So make sure to click into those! You can can click on the map icon in the upper right hand corner to see all of these places laid out on a map as well (if you’ve downloaded the Thatch app - which is free ☺️)

Welcome to Costa Rica! This country is full of tropical beaches, wild jungles, towering volcanoes, steaming hot springs, literally hundreds of waterfalls, and incredible wildlife (it contains one of the most biodiverse places on the planet!!). It really is the perfect place for an adventure! And it’s also why I find myself returning to this country time and time again - I can’t wait to show you around one of my favorite places! 

Spanish is the official language in Costa Rica! While it is always helpful to know at least a little bit of the local language, it’s pretty easy to get by here without knowing any Spanish. Almost everyone in the country speaks some amount of English and those in the tourism industry really know their stuff! You will have no problem getting around here with English and definitely bonus points if you know Spanish!

Costa Rica uses the Colon as its national currency. It's equivalent to about 650 colones per dollar but this conversion can vary so make sure to check it on Google! I would suggest pulling out colones at the airport ATMs as soon as you land. You can find ATMs at each of the locations I outline below as well so you do not need to pull out all of your money at once but I do recommend having some on hand as soon as you land. Plus pulling out money from ATMs typically costs around $5 each time you do so - plan accordingly. DO NOT go to a money exchange office you will often see at airports, they have higher exchange rates as they take a fee in order to exchange your money. Instead, go to an ATM. 

You can check with your bank to see if your debit card has a foreign transaction fee (usually between 1-3%) which will be charged when you purchase items in a different currency from your own. If you travel often, it may be worth looking into a foriegn transaction fee-free debit card such as Charles Schwab. I’ve used their card for almost 10 years while traveling because it also refunds all ATM fees from any ATMs around the world. 

A number of places in Costa Rica also accept the US dollar so if you are coming from the US, having some cash on hand is never bad to have either. Although I would still suggest pulling out Colones since not everywhere will accept USD. 

Credit cards are widely accepted throughout Costa Rica so you dont have to worry about having enough cash to cover everything! Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere, especially in tourism hubs but you will definitely run into small shops, markets, and some restaurants that are cash-only. You will also need cash for highway tolls! Once again, it's worth checking with your credit card company if they have foreign transaction fees before putting everything on your card! 

Costa Rica has 2 major airports, one in its capital city of San Jose, SJO, which is the country’s main air hub and another in the northern part of the country called Liberia, LIR. You can find flights to SJO from almost any major airport in the US and much of the world. For that reason, I suggest flying into SJO. Flights are typically cheaper than ones to Liberia and it has a more centralized location in the country. 

Costa Rica is considered a very safe country for tourists in general! What does that mean? Well according to the 2021 Global Peace Index, Costa Rica is ranked the #1 most peaceful country in its region (Central America and The Caribbean) and is ranked #39 out of 163 countries worldwide. It has no standing army and has had no civil wars unlike many of its neighbors. Out of the over 30 countries I have visited around the world, Costa Rica is high on my list in ones that I have felt the safest visiting. 

That being said, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take precautions! Petty crime is the predominant threat for tourists but its important to always be aware of your surroundings and practice common travel safety when visiting. Read up on some Costa Rica travel safety trip before your trip at the link below:

Is Costa Rica Safe in 2020? Everything You Need to Know

ALWAYS check your country’s travel advisories before traveling to another country as safety conditions can change quickly. I have linked the US’s website page for Costa Rica travel below so that you can check before your trip!

Costa Rica Travel Advisory 

Since COVID travel requirements literally change all the time, I am just going to link to where you can find the most up to date information 

Entry Requirements

Tourist visa requirements depend on your nationality. Travelers from the US do not need a Visa when visiting Costa Rica but they must have a valid passport and a return ticket to exit the country within 90 days (your flight back home works for this!). For travelers from outside of the US, you can check the visa requirements for your country at the link below:

Costa Rica has 2 main weather patterns when it comes to seasons: rainy season vs dry season. Rainy season runs from May through November while dry season runs from December through April. I will outline the pros and cons of traveling during each below!

Rainy season is also called green season since it's when the driest areas of the coast come to life with greenery. This time of year is beautiful due to all of the greenery as well as generally cheaper and less crowded, since it's the “off season.” However, it will most likely rain during your trip, typically everyday but only for a few hours usually in the afternoons. In addition, if you're traveling during the rainy season, it's even more important to rent a 4X4 vehicle. The dirt roads, especially in more remote areas like Santa Teresa, turn to mud and are impassable without a 4x4 vehicle. 

Dry Season is also known as peak season because its when most travelers plan their trips which means more crowds, higher prices (especially on rental cars!!), and the need to make reservations further out in advance. You will enjoy much less rain, dry and typically sunny weather if you're on the coast!

Ultimately, I have been to Costa Rica during both seasons and have enjoyed them equally! I definitely saw way more rain during rainy season (basically everyday) but it was kind of relaxing and we still got a good amount of sun. The dry season was nice because I never once worried about the weather (and actually never saw rain for 2 weeks!) but the prices were significantly higher. We paid at least double for our rental car during peak season and paid more for accommodations but we also did not plan far in advance. It's up to you which is more important for your trip! 

I suggest starting your trip by flying into the SJO airport (described above!) and booking a rental car to begin your trip! I would try to fly in with enough time to drive to pick up rental car and drive to your first destination before dark rather than spending a night in San Jose. 

If you do need to spend a night in San Jose because you are arriving in the evening (or flying out early in the morning for your return flight), I suggest getting a hotel right next to the airport. There are several to choose from but I have personally stayed at The Courtyard and the Hampton Inn and had great experiences at both. I have linked them below in case you need them!

Courtyard

Hampton Inn

I highly suggest renting a car for this trip! Not only does it give you the freedom to explore at your own pace, but it also lets you set your own schedule, drive to the off-the-beaten-path locations I share below that tour buses won’t get you to, and probably will end up costing less than needing to take tourist shuttles or taxis everywhere. 

When picking a rental car, I’d suggest getting a 4X4 rental car if possible! Its necessary for driving some of the dirt roads you may encounter heading to the hikes and waterfalls I include below and you will absolutely need it for Santa Teresa if you decide to include that in your itinerary. You can usually sort vehicles by this if your using a search engine to find your rental car such as Expedia or Kayak which is what I usually use! I always try to pick cars from big, well-known rental companies rather than the cheapest option from a more obscure rental company. Many people swear by Adobe Rental Car in Costa Rica so I will link it below but I have not personally rented a car with them. I have rented with Budget in Costa Rica and had a good experience. 

Adobe Rental Car

Make sure you have insurance when renting a car! Oftentimes your personal car insurance will cover rentals and even your credit card will sometimes! Call around to ask before you pick up your car so you know whether or not you will need to buy insurance from the rental agency. 

Speaking of insurance, Costa Rica has a government-issued liability insurance that they require you to purchase when renting a car. Your own car insurance or credit card policies from home will NOT have this covered because it is specific to Costa Rica. So basically you are forced to purchase it - there's really no way around it. So do not be shocked when you go to check out your rental car and the price is higher than you were quoted online - this is most likely the liability tax. It can cost between $10 - $20 a day so make sure to build that into your budget! 

You can read more about the ins and outs of rental cars in Costa Rica at the link below if you want to dive a little deeper!

How Not To Fall For Costa Rica Car Rental Scams - The Official Costa Rica Travel Blog

I know this probably seems like more hassle than it's worth to rent a car but I promise you, after paying a lot of money to sit on tourist shuttles for hours on end, I have found it the best way to get around the country! 

⚠️ A note of caution on the waterfalls in this guide below: Do every activity at your own risk! Make sure you know the proper safety precautions and protocols at each waterfall and follow instructions of the location. While I choose to swim (and even jump) into a few of the waterfalls mentioned below, it is important to make sure that swimming is still allowed during your visit and that the water is safe to enter at the time of your visit. Especially during the rainy season when rivers can flood, the condition of waterfalls can change quickly, making them not always safe to swim in even if others have done so before or in photos you see. Only you know your limits!

In the list below, I will make note of the things that I personally did and things that I didn't have time for last time I visited but were on my bucket list. 

La Fortuna Waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls in the area so I suggest getting there early! Its open from 7 AM to 5 PM everyday and is a short but steep “hike” - meaning that the whole thing is basically just a series of steps down into a canyon. Its 530 steps to be exact! 

Swimming in the falls itself was not allowed when I visited but that may have been due to COVID (I went in September 2021). But I would be lying if I said that everyone was following the rules and no one was swimming because realistically almost every person there was swimming in the falls when I arrived… so you can make that decision for yourself! There is a spot were swimming was allowed further down river so bring your bathing suit regardless - be prepared because the water is chilly! Tickets are $18 a person and can be purchased online or in person. 

Located in Tenorio Volcano National Park, this is the very famous bright blue waterfall you’ve probably seen on Instagram! Rio Celeste had been on my bucket list for years after seeing photos of it online. It is a further drive from La Fortuna so you have to really want to see the falls to make the trip! You absolutely cannot swim here so your trip will include a 3.5 mile out and back hike to the falls where there are 250 stairs down to a viewing platform. If you have the time and the energy, its worth continuing the hike after the falls to see the point where 2 rivers collide and make the famous blue color! Plus you get to cross some fun suspension bridges. The park is open from 8 PM to 4 PM (although you must enter by 2 PM at the latest) and costs $12 to enter, $2 for parking. 

People say it's best to go during the dry season since the rain can sometimes dull the bule color but I went in September (right in the middle of rainy season) and that was not the case for my visit! 

These falls were the highlight of my trip to La Fortuna! That’s because not only are there multiple waterfalls, including ones with bright blue water that you can swim in, but also because it's still a hidden gem! In fact, we were literally the only tourists there when I visited in 2021 and had the whole place to ourselves! It may have grown since then but it still seems to be pretty under the radar. This place is privately operated and consists of 2 different waterfall experiences. Luckily, if you have enough time, you don’t have to choose and can do both!

The first is the more well-known Catarata del Toro! It's a 300 foot waterfall that tumbles down a massive extinct volcanic crater. The hike down includes 375 stairs to the base and although you cannot swim here, its definitely a sight to see! It costs $14 to access.  

The second is a newer experience called Blue Falls that includes access to 7 incredible waterfalls!! It costs $15 and is totally worth the money! The experience includes an easy hike across their property (they have guides scattered around to help you know where to go) in which you can choose which waterfalls you want to visit. We didn't have time to do all 7 (don’t make my mistake, plan plenty of time to really enjoy this place!) but the ones we did were Las Gemelas and La Celestial and they were INCREDIBLE. Check out my pictures and videos below to see the gatorade blue water. The guides will help show you where you can swim too! 

The Blue Falls/Catarata del Toro admissions office is open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM (closed Sunday). You want to make sure you have plenty of time to explore & swim while you are there so I would say plan a minimum of 3 hours if you are only going to do one of the falls, plan 6 hours if you want to do both of the falls! I would highly suggest doing both! We didn't plan enough time for both and I still regret not being able to see Catarata del Toro - again, don't make my same mistake. Plus you can purchase a combined ticket to both experiences for $25!

I did not have a chance to visit this waterfall park but it’s high on my list! It features 5 waterfalls, paved hiking trails through the rainforest, and an animal sanctuary. The main waterfall trail provides easy access to the 5 waterfalls and is less than a mile on paved paths. The Magia Blanca waterfall has a viewing platform so you can get up close to the falls! It's located pretty close to San Jose so is best done on your way to La Fortuna or on your way back to the airport.  

Another spot I have not been to but was on my list is a local swimming hole with a rope swing called El Salto. This is less of a tourist spot but is still a free place to enjoy swimming and possibly even jumping in the river (at your own risk!). Since I haven't been, I will link a very descriptive website in the Place above so you can read more about it if you decide you want to check it out!

A short drive away from Santa Teresa is the town of Montezuma where you can also visit and swim in a waterfall. The Montezuma Waterfall is actually a series of 3 waterfalls - upper, middle and lower falls. I did not have a chance to visit during my time in Santa Teresa so I will leave you with a very informational blog post to learn all the ins and outs of visiting this place if you choose to do so (linked in the “Place” above) 

Just note, the falls may be more a trickle and less of a strong waterfall if you are visiting during the dry season. 

Eco-Chontales is one of my favorite waterfalls in Costa Rica! If you like swimming in falls, 0 to low crowds, and jumping into rivers - this is the place for you! This one is a journey to get to though and includes bumpy dirt roads, extremely tight bridge crossings (we had to pull our mirror in…), and the need for a 4X4 vehicle to make it up the hills. Make sure you are prepared!

The Eco-Chontales waterfall is a 200 foot waterfall that drops into a blue pool below where you can wade into the water. Downstream from the bigger pool is a shallow river with several soaking pools you can sit in or kids can play. Even further down is an area where you can choose to do a 25 foot jump from a canyon into the river! Please note, you have to have permission and be shown the correct spot to jump from one of the guides that work for the waterfall company - do so at your own risk! There is also a small restaurant you can grab lunch from when it's all said and done.

It costs 3000 colones or around 5 dollars to enter which you can purchase at the office and is a short 700 meter walk to an overlook platform, then another few hundred meters down the stairs to get to the main pool. It opens at 8:30AM and I’d suggest getting there early if you want the place to yourself! 

This is one of the most famous falls in Costa Rica and only a short 20 minute drive from Dominical (& on paved roads too!). Nauyaca falls is actually 2 water falls - the first is over 140 feet tall and the second is around 60 feet tall. The lower falls has a pool that you can swim in and even sit underneath the waterfall. It does get very crowded so I suggest going as soon as it opens right at 7:00AM (Monday-Saturday) or 8:00AM (Sundays). The falls close by 3:30PM, with the last ticket being sold at 2:30PM. 

The falls cost $10 for you to do the hike yourself, $80 to do it via horseback ride, or $32 to beat the crowds by taking a 4x4 open air vehicle that drops you off right at the entrance! You can purchase tickets online at the Nauyaca Falls website (linked at the “Place” above) and redeem them in the ticket office when you arrive. We opted for the hike which is about 2 miles each way from the parking lot (which you have to pay extra to park at). It was all uphill on the way there and very hot so was moderately difficult.
