Catarata Llanos de Cortés is a stunning waterfall cascading into a large pool, perfect for swimming and enjoying the natural beauty of Costa Rica. Poza Escondida is a nearby natural pool. Accessibility is generally good, with a relatively easy walk from the parking area to the falls, although it may not be fully wheelchair accessible. Visiting solo is safe and enjoyable, but guided tours can provide more in-depth information about the local flora and fauna. The dry season (December to April) offers the best conditions for swimming, while the rainy season (May to November) can increase the waterfall's flow but also make the area muddier and potentially more dangerous for swimming. The entrance fee is approximately $7 USD for foreigners. A typical visit duration is around 2-3 hours, allowing ample time for swimming, relaxing, and taking photos. During peak season, arrive early to avoid crowds.
