Waterfalls in Guanacaste: Llanos de Cortés, La Leona and Rincón de la Vieja

Guanacaste has three waterfalls that sell, and they share little beyond the province. The cheapest guided way to see one is a three-hour river hike to La Leona, typically in the 60 to 120 EUR band. The dearest is a six-hour day of Llanos de Cortés, sloths and a chocolate farm, in the 120 to 250 EUR band. Between them sits a volcano park, Rincón de la Vieja, with a waterfall, hot springs and lunch, in the same band. This page covers waterfalls in Guanacaste as a place: who runs each one, which rules apply, when the water and the weather cooperate, and which base puts you closest. The 60 tours are read one by one on the three pages linked below, and every price here is a band around the median of the 20 listings read for that fall on 22 October 2026.

The fall pages read the tours one at a time. This page answers the questions that come before them: where to sleep, which month, and which of the three suits a family, a hiker or a hot-spring day. Looking for Río Celeste? It lies inside Volcán Tenorio National Park, about 1.5 hours from Liberia airport, and has its own page. The Costa Rica page sets the whole country side by side, so the national comparison is not repeated here. If you only have one day in the province, start with the three fall pages linked below, and book the one whose operator says plainly what the day includes.
