Trip Moment Recommendations
La Paz Waterfalls Gardens in Heredia
La Paz Waterfall Gardens Natural Park is one of the most famous tours for tourists in Costa Rica, located only a few hours from San Jose (and 1 hour away from airport). They offer accommodation, restaurants services or just one-day hiking trip into the rainforest and their animal sanctuary. Remember zoos were banned in Costa Rica years ago, only few sanctuaries are open to public as rehabilitation center for many wild animals.
La Paz trails includes 5 different waterfalls, a small lake, birds 🐦 , butterflies 🦋 , snakes 🐍 , monkeys 🐵, hummingbirds, orchid station, insects, frogs 🐸 and few jungle cats, like jaguar, ocelots and more 🐆 .
Remember to carry a jacket and probably raincoat when you visit, either in summer or rainy season. Temperature in rainforest is always a bit chilly and you will definitely get wet around the waterfalls trails. Carry comfortable shoes, this hike can be exhausting.
Outside the gardens, few minutes into the main road (route 126), you can watch the amazing La Paz waterfall that falls. The waterfall is 37m height. This waterfall is also very near Poas volcano 🌋, if you want to spend the night in the gardens you can continue your trip next day to hike around the Poas Volcano National Park, or just visit the crater. Just remember your jacket.

Enjoying the hills in Naranjo
Costa Rica is well known for its amazing topography and biodiversity. So many hiking/trekking places to discover even for locals. The Western Zone (Zona de Occidente) of the Metropolitarean Area is one of its hidden gems. You have urban towns and nature very close to you, and most towns are connected by very good roads.
Naranjo is a small county with many recognized mountains you can visit in one-day trip, couple hours from the capital or even on your way to/from the beach. These mountains are open to people to visit for fun, to sit down and enjoy nature or even have a controlled fire 🔥 at night, camping experience without camping. Although, there are no guards or park rangers is most of these areas so you are responsible for your own safety.
Getting a breath with your family and friends, hiking up and down the mountains, only you and those gorgeous natural surroundings, it’s what makes Costa Rica so great. You don’t need to spend money to visit great areas, you just need to know where to find it. Just remember to carry all you need, most of these places are a bit isolated (few kilometers) from any store.
📍Naranjo, Alajuela, Costa Rica
