I’d include El Tigre Waterfalls for waterfall views.

Costa Rica blew our minds when we first visited. Stunning nature, abundant wildlife, scenic beaches, all paired up with incredibly thoughtful stays — a true nature lover's paradise. We invite you to experience this place with our curated activities, hand-picked stays, and crafted plans.

El Tigre Waterfalls is a stunning natural attraction, surrounded by lush tropical rainforest. This hidden gem features a series of cascading waterfalls that flow into clear pools, creating a refreshing and relaxing environment.

TIP: You have two options of getting to the falls: a moderate unguided 5-mile hike ($29), or a guided option with 3-mile hike and then a 4x4 or horseback riding experience for the most difficult parts of the route ($59).

Both options provide access to all 4 big falls and 10 bridges, and mostly depend on your personal preferences.
