Cinchona Waterfall Trails

Posted on May 21, 2024February 15, 2024 by Ultimate Guide

About: These trails are well-maintained but steep as they go down into the canyon to a total of 4 waterfalls, 2 of which you can swim in. The hike is short but challenging, but there are some ropes to help on the steep sections. It is a hike down and back up to get out. There is a hummingbird garden at the entrance.

Province: Alajuela

Starting from: La Fortuna / Downtown Alajuela / Downtown Heredia / Downtown San Jose

Time to reach from starting location: 1 hour 36 minutes / 1 hour / 1 hour 10 minutes / 1 hour 36 minutes

Time needed for activity: 3 hours

Kid friendly: Yes

Wheelchair accessible: No

What to wear and bring: Comfortable clothes, walking or hiking shoes, swimsuit, towel, change of clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent, hat, sunglasses, poncho or rain jacket, field guides, camera, backpack, water, snacks, pack lunch

Tips: This is a longer pit stop on the road to (or from) La Fortuna, but it is well worth it. If you want to do it, arrive early so you can be done by lunch and still have plenty of time to make it to your destination before dark.
