A fun 10 minute hike down to the waterfall. Has some steep steps but nothing crazy. You can swim there for a nice place to cool off mid-day.
This botanical garden has arboretum trails and 75 species of medicinal plants. Resident naturalists offer day and night-time natural history walks through forest trails. Visitors can also participate in UGA Costa Rica's Carbon Offset Program and help reforest with native species, and enjoy a cup of coffee or fresh, cold juice and a meal after hiking to the San Luis waterfall.
