Horse riding to La Fortuna Falls

cos02-horse-ride-to-la-fortuna-falls-free-ict

Ascend through tropical forest on horseback to arrive at a 70m waterfall in a spectacular setting.

La Fortuna plunges down from a height of 70m into a forest amphitheatre smothered in emerald foliage. You can reach it on horseback, setting off from a small farm to ride across pastureland and into the tropical rainforest before ascending to a magnificent viewpoint over the tumbling falls.

To reach the waterfall itself, continue on foot along a jungle trail. You can stop for a refreshing swim in the plunge pool at the foot of the falls or relax beside the river bank before returning.
