"La Paz Waterfall Gardens is Costa Rica’s most-visited private nature reserve and animal sanctuary. While walking the park’s two miles of perfectly designed trails, you’ll happen on exhibits that showcase jungle cats, butterflies, monkeys, snakes, and frogs.The hummingbird park, home to every color of the diminutivebirds, is particularly enchanting. La Paz’s five waterfalls are the main event. Suspended observationbridges were designed to offer breathtaking experiences,and allow you to snap pictures under the waterfalls themselves. Notably, all materials used in building the platforms and trails werecarried in by foot to reduce negative environmental impact. By Travesías"
