Fortuna Waterfall is a stunning waterfall known for its striking beauty, with a 250-foot cascade of water falling into a turquoise pool below. The lush rainforest that surrounds the waterfall adds to its beauty and creates a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

You'll have to descent 500 steps to reach the waterfall, then you can swim in a beautiful turquoise pool. Don't forget your water shoes to get over all the rocks. It can get slippery.

In addition to the natural beauty of the waterfall and its surroundings, the area is also rich in cultural history. The waterfall was considered a sacred site by the indigenous people who lived in the area, and there are still remnants of their culture and traditions to be discovered in the surrounding rainforest.
