La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park is a premier ecological attraction in Costa Rica, easily accessible with paved trails and some stairs, though certain inclines or steps might challenge strollers or wheelchairs; a park shuttle is available. Visitors can explore independently, but guided tours offer enhanced educational insights into the diverse wildlife and ecosystems. The park operates year-round, with the rainy season (May-November) showcasing more powerful waterfalls and lush vegetation, while the dry season (December-April) offers sunnier conditions. Admission for adults is typically around $48-52 USD, and a visit usually lasts 3 to 5 hours to fully experience its five impressive waterfalls, extensive wildlife exhibits including monkeys, sloths, big cats, and a remarkable butterfly observatory and hummingbird garden. It is advisable to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring rain gear due to mist, and apply insect repellent; arriving early helps avoid crowds.
