Our favorite excursion

My husband and I booked this excursion last minute and we are glad we did! Our driver/guide was super knowledgeable on Costa Rican history and made for a fun drive to the activities. He helped navigate us from one activity to the next and La Leona waterfall is a Costa Rican must-do! It is DEFINITELY a challenging hike (we wondered if our parents would have made it) only because of the rocky terrain (ability to balance is crucial) but there were plenty of people (and kids) making it work as long as you are willing to take your time. We definitely recommend!
