Liberia: La Leona Waterfall Hiking Tour

Our guides, Freddy and Emily, were fantastic. They guided the 3 people in my group along with a family of 4. Emily made sure to capture video and photos throughout the hike which was more convenient thank pulling my cell phone out of the dry bag every time. My group was pretty fast, but the guides did sneak in breaks to look at different rock formations and animals so the youngest of the family could catch up. Sadly, it rained during our hike and another guide determined that a flash flood was imminent. Even though we didn't get that Instagrammable shot inside the waterfall it was still fun to briefly ride the rushing water to get to the mouth of the cave. PRO TIP: Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty along with closed-toed shoes with good traction. Of course these are things the tour recommends in advance that I wish I had heeded.

The waterfall was amazing. I went with 2 children. The guide Nathaniel was great. We hiked for about 45 minutes which included walking through the forest. Nathaniel was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. My kids asked a lot of questions and he answered them all. He helped pull the kids up certain parts. The most difficult part was right before we reached the waterfall, the current was strong. Overall this was the best waterfall experience we've had i. Costa rica. A must see. Jonathan was also very nice and made this a great experience.
