My 1 Week Costa Rica Road Trip Itinerary for 2025

"I swam at the base of La Fortuna waterfall and loved the experience — the waterfall drops almost 75 meters (250 feet) into a large pool, the cold water is refreshing after hiking, and you should wear sturdy footwear for the steep, slippery staircase down." - Matthew Kepnes
