The Ecological Reserve Fortuna Waterfall is a stunning natural attraction in Costa Rica, featuring a 70-75 meter high waterfall cascading into a refreshing pool. Visitors can typically spend 2-4 hours exploring the trails, swimming in the pool at the base of the falls, and enjoying the surrounding rainforest. The entrance fee is approximately $18 USD for adults, and the reserve is generally accessible year-round, though the rainy season (May-November) may affect trail conditions. While the main path to the waterfall involves stairs, making it partially inaccessible for those with mobility issues, the views are well worth the effort. Both solo and guided visits are possible, with guided tours offering more in-depth knowledge of the local flora and fauna. Consider bringing swimwear, comfortable hiking shoes, and rain gear, especially during the wet season.
