CRTSEXP-320 La Paz Waterfalls Gardens Tour $62.00
We will discover
La Paz Waterfall Gardens
Nature Park where we will walk on the
truly spectacular trails that will lead us to Magia Blanca Falls (the
largest and the most spectacular of the falls in the area). At the Park
you will also witness the largest enclosed butterfly observatory in the
world with a beautiful collection of tropical jewels. After a terrific
lunch we will continue to Sarapiquí and on our way we come
across the La Paz Waterfall, where we take some time to enjoy the
splendid view. Less than a mile away we will encounter yet another
waterfall surrounded by virgin forest, which becomes a great photo
opportunity.
We can offer you two choices according to your preference or needs:
Short Tour
(1--1-1/2 hours) ( Distance 1 Kilometer - Downhill)
From the Welcome Center proceed down to the Butterfly Observatory (the
largest in the world) where you will be able to walk among the colorful
butterflies and flowers. A number of informational signs provide basic
facts about several butterfly species from Costa Rica and their
lifecycles. Make certain you stop at the laboratory and view the
butterflies emerging from their pupa and our exhibits displaying them in
various growth cycles. If your timing is right you will be able to
release a newly emerged butterfly by hand. From there proceed up the
trail to the Hummingbird Garden. At the Hummingbird Garden, the most
species-diverse in the country, you can get up close and personal with
our playful birds. Watch the territorial antics of the 16 different
species known to frequent these gardens. Enter the forest at the trail
by the Orchid Houses and proceed along the La Paz River towards Templo
Waterfall (the beginning of the Trail of Falls). As you make your way
down river you will be greeted by unique views of all the waterfalls
from our viewing platforms. Slightly above Encantada fall is an exit
trail that will take you to our shuttle bus pick-up area where you can
catch a ride back to the Welcome Center and skip the walk back up.
Full Tour
(2-1/2 -- 3 hours) (Distance 3 Kilometers - Up and Downhill)
For the ultimate Waterfall Gardens experience visit the Hummingbird
Garden first then proceed to the Butterfly Observatory. Enter the forest
via the Fern Trail and make your way through the fern canyon to the
beautiful Rio La Paz Trail, which will then connect with the Trail of
Falls. If you are not inclined to hike back up you may use the exit
trail to the shuttle bus stop.
