La Paz Waterfall Garden Tour from San Jose

It is very easy to visit all the animals and take pictures. Walking is not complicated. The buffet lunch suits every taste. Everything is fresh and there is lots of choice. Experts stand around if you have questions. Getting down to the waterfall is not as easy but is doable if you are a moderate walker and take it slowly. The views are wonderful. A thoroughly enjoyable excursion.

Firstly the tour itself was well run and the guides good, the bus was at my hotel 5 minutes before the agreed time so I didn’t have to wait. The gardens themselves were a big disappointment, the description states that these are rescue animals and I assumed therefore that this meant they would be in good enclosures which replicate their natural environment. This did not prove to be the case with jaguars and ocelots kept in enclosures about half the size of a tennis court and birds of prey and macaws in enclosures where they had no chance of flying. I regret taking this tour.

Don't leave San Jose without taking a tour to La Paz waterfalls and animal sanctuary. It's a day of wonder and awe.......hummingbirds whiz by your face with butterflies landing on your shoulder. It doesn't get any better. The tour guide and driver kept us safe and provided a wonderful and entertaining day!

This tour was fabulous! The bus was there early to pick us up at our hotel. Hugo our tour guide was fantastic. He provided information on the way there and back as very as being very informative about the animals, birds and plant life at La Paz. The lunch that was included was very good. We also got to stop for strawberries on the way back to San Jose. Wonderful Tour!

Beautiful!!

The guide was very informative and I learned a lot about volcanos. I couldn't see anything due to the fog! Mother nature at its best! But I enjoy the scenic drive to and from the volcano. The church in Cartago is beautiful! This tour does not include lunch so have some snacks in your bag.

Eugenio and Enrique were very helpful,I got meet them close and share few jokes with them super nice guys,I highly recommed these guys!!!!! thanks so very much for making trip pleasent even thought we had a rainy day they made it right...

I really enjoyed this eco-tour. The guide was informative and knowledgeable. And the Driver made me feel Safe. La Paz Waterfall Garden is essentially private property. There are some interesting areas- the Serpentarium has over 30 exhibits of poisonous and venomous Snakes found in Costa Rica the Butterfly Garden was simply amazing. The frog exhibit, the humming birds, the Big Cats, the aviary, the monkeys.... There was simply a Lot to See. The Gardens are fantastic! The included Lunch at the Colibries Restaurant was pretty good with a wide variety of food and beverages served. The waterfalls themselves are awe inspiring. Be warned though- this is quite a hike. The steps can be slippery when wet and are steep. If you go down to see the waterfalls, you have to hike back up. I did them all and am glad that I did. The only issue- I did not See La Paz waterfall!!! I thought that was the whole Point of this tour. The viewpoint to La Paz waterfall was a 5-10 Minute drive from the exit! I saw the falls on a different tour.

Tour was great my son loved it. Not enough time to explore the trout lake, which wasn't even part of the tour. But because I read and planned ahead, we managed to see it. Since it was a little cool fishing wasn't a option for me anyway. I think the tour should be optional not mandatory. overall A+
