The countless waterfalls scattered around the country are among the most beautiful and interesting wonders of the nature of Costa Rica. In my opinion, they are more characteristic of Costa Rica than paradise beaches. I was absolutely amazed by them and still couldn’t get enough of their magic, mysterious location in the dense tropical jungle and wildness. I have visited several waterfalls in various parts of the country and I have prepared for you a list of those that are the most unique in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

La Paz Falls<\/strong><\/h2>\n

La Paz Falls<\/strong> are the most important part of La Paz Waterfall Gardens Natural Park<\/strong>, which is actually a private ecological park. It is a group of five waterfalls: Templo, Magia Blanca, Encantada, Escondida, and La Paz, between which there are hiking and educational trails<\/strong>. It’s the perfect place to start exploring Costa Rican nature right after landing in San Jos\u00e9, as they are located close to the capital. There is also a private zoo in the park where you can see representatives of local species including wild cats, snakes, frogs, birds, monkeys, butterflies, and insects. La Paz Waterfall Gardens Park is one of those well-developed, tourist places with extensive infrastructure. There are restaurants and a luxury hotel here. As the area is huge, the presence of other tourists is not that overwhelming. I visited La Paz in February during the pandemic and there were barely any people. If you do not plan to travel all over Costa Rica and venture further into the country, you should definitely visit La Paz, which will allow you to experience the unique Costa Rican nature.<\/p>\n

Location and how to get there<\/strong><\/h6>\n

La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park<\/strong> is located in the heart of Costa Rica, north of San Jos\u00e9. Getting here from the capital is very easy and fast, and the distance is about 40 km<\/strong>. Road 126<\/strong> depending on the traffic will take you there in 1 – 1.5h.<\/p>\n
