La Paz Waterfall Gardens Discount FAQ
Where is the park located?
Here is the park on Google Maps:
What if I don’t have my own transportation?
If you need transportation, you can taxi/Uber to the park. We can also help you book a shuttle if you have a large group or prefer a shuttle. Please contact us for quotes.
Do I need a 4×4 to drive there?
The road to La Paz Waterfall Gardens from San Jose is all on well paved roads. However, it gets very curvy, windy and narrow once you get out of the city so please drive slow.
When is the park open?
La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park is open everyday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
How much time do people normally spend at the park?
On average, people spend around 2-3 hours at the park but it all depends on how long it takes for you to walk the trails and see the animals.
Can I stop by the park on my way from San Jose to La Fortuna?
Yes definitely and I highly recommend it! It’s a great stop in between. We do recommend going early in the morning so you can take advantage of the whole day and not be driving to La Fortuna in the dark. But you can definitely stop by and use our discount!
What is the lunch like?
Lunch is buffet style and they have a good mix of international and Costa Rican food.
What’s the weather like?
Vara Blanca is high in elevation so that area is generally cooler, cloudier and rainier. It experiences typical tropical seasons with a dry and rainy but note that it can rain at night or afternoon even dry season. We recommend to bring a rainjacket and wear long pants and closed toed shoes.
During rainy season, we highly recommend a waterproof backpack. They have ponchos and umbrellas for sale at the gift shop.
If you can, go as early as it opens. Tour groups start arriving around 10 AM so it is a lot less crowded in the morning.
