Set just outside the town of La Fortuna, this 200-ft waterfall is a great place to picnic, swim or take photographs. The falls emerge from a thick jungle before plummeting into an emerald green pool below.

Such a beautiful place, it's a must if you're in La Fortuna. Get ready to go down more than 400 steps and then go up! Swim in a cold water, , definitely an adventure in the middle of the rainforest, nice view.
