The La Paz Waterfall Gardens

News Alert: The area surrounding La Paz Waterfall Gardens experienced a large earthquake on January 8, 2009 and is closed until further notice. Read more information regarding the earthquake.

When you think about Costa Rica, you probably imagine lush tropical rain forests, flowing white rivers, spectacular waterfalls, birds, butterflies and flowers. At La Paz Waterfall Gardens, you will see all that and more.

When we’re on vacation we don’t want to get up early just to go on a tour. So we have combined the best of both worlds: an excellent tour with a later start time. Your personal guide will walk you through the trails of the Butterfly Observatory, the Hummingbird Garden, Serpentarium, Orchid Gardens, Authentic Casita, Frog Exhibit and Waterfalls.

Once you have finished with the tour, a delicious buffet lunch awaits you. You can also enjoy our amazing tour with private transportation and private tour guide just for you and your family and friends!

La Paz Waterfall Gardens
As you wander the trails of La Paz Waterfall Gardens your senses will delight at the five waterfalls that line the trail. Originally, the only way one could view the falls was by literally hanging over the side of the mountain, looking through trees and ferns - not very inviting for picture taking. With the construction of the Waterfall Gardens, guests are afforded views from platforms above, below and in front of the falls for great photo opportunities.

Colibries Restaurant
Our lunch buffet at Colibries Restaurant has received a four fork rating, the highest rating from the ICT (Costa Rican Tourist Council). While dining with an incredible view of the La Paz River Valley, guests can choose from our delicious buffet including rotisserie chicken, hot dogs, pizza and typical Costa Rican fare in the Colibries Restaurant.

Butterfly Observatory
Our Butterfly Observatory has over 20 different species of butterflies to soar freely while guests walk amid the natural habitat. An on-site laboratory allows guests to follow the lifecycle and metamorphosis of butterflies from egg to caterpillar to butterfly.

Hummingbird Gardens
Our Hummingbird Garden attracts 24 different species of the birds, more species than any other in Costa Rica and quite possibly the world. Approximately 57 different hummingbirds have been reportedly seen in Costa Rica and it is possible to see many of them here!

Serpentarium
Our museum quality Serpentarium exhibits 30 of the most beautiful and deadly snakes of Costa Rica. The exhibition puts you face to face with such famous snakes as the Bushmaster, Terciopelo, Green Vinesnake, and Golden Eyelash Viper to name just a few. We are also one of the few Serpentariums in the world to host the colorful but venomous sea snake found off the Pacific Coast of Central America.

Frog Exhibit
Our Frog Exhibit has received rave reviews from our visitors. Our mini-rainforest is enclosed but the frogs are not and you can see and photograph them in their natural habitat. Our collection includes the most famous frogs of the Central American Rainforest including the Red Eyed Tree Frog, the Flying Frog and various species of Poison Dart Frogs. Each night guests are invited to handle the friendly Leaf-frogs during their most active period. You won’t want to miss this truly un’frog’ettable experience.

Casita de La Paz
Enjoy life as it was a hundred years ago in our Casita de la Paz. This unique reproduction was built using only the tools available to the average farmer a century ago. Step back in time - take a ride in an ox-driven cart, sample freshly made tortillas, and see how the Ticos lived and worked on rural farms.

Trout Lake & Big Trout Bar
Fishing anyone? Cast a line in our two level Trout Lake. Catch dinner or just have some fun! The Big Trout Bar is a great place to have lunch, meet other guests over cocktails, relax in between hikes or exchange fish stories.

*Prices Subject to Change.
*La Paz Waterfall Gardens Tour with Guide & Lunch has the option of transportation to & from San Jose
