la leona waterfall
A GEM HIDDEN IN THE CANYONS!
Hidden amidst the rocky mountains created by the eruptions of the giant Rincón De La Vieja, the largest volcano in Costa Rica, you can find the beautiful Rio Blanco, which carves its way through the Curubande canyons. The volcanic minerals floating in the river create an optical illusion when the sun reflects on the water, generating a stunning celestial blue color. We walk amidst these breathtaking views of the canyons and the river, swim, and climb through the rocks of this beautiful place until we reach the hidden waterfall nestled within the canyons. Along the way, our bilingual and certified guides will provide you with plenty of extra information. You can’t miss it!

IMPORTANT
La Leona is one of the easiest tours. Although we have to walk for two hours, it is not a trail where you will feel extremely exhausted. It does have a degree of difficulty due to going up and down among the stones in the river.
This can cause pain, especially for people with leg issues. For this reason, we do not recommend this activity for people with knee problems, ankle issues, or those who have had back surgery. For everyone else, this could be the best experience of your life.
