About This Guide

An independent guide to La Paz Waterfall Gardens, the free roadside fall and the tours that go there.

What we do

We compare the ways to visit La Paz Waterfall Gardens in Costa Rica: driving with a gate ticket, prepaid passes and day tours from San José. Our main job is to show which tours actually enter the park — many combos only stop at the free La Paz Waterfall beside Route 126.

Where the facts come from

  • Gate prices, hours, trail and exhibits: the park’s official website.
  • Tour prices, ratings and inclusions: live GetYourGuide listings, priced for one adult.
  • Drive times: Google Maps in usual traffic.

Every page shows when it was last updated. When a source does not say something — swimming, the tax amount, parking — we say so rather than guess.

How we earn

We are not the park and we do not run tours. We earn a commission when you book through our links, at no extra cost to you. Read the disclosure.
