La leona Waterfall from RIU Guanacaste Hotel & Resorts

Your adventure begins right at the designated pick-up point at the Riu Guanacaste Hotel, where your bilingual, professional driver will greet you with exceptional service and attention to detail. Relax in the comfort of our private, air-conditioned shuttle as we depart along the picturesque roads of Guanacaste, heading toward the town of Curubandé de Liberia, home to the famous La Leona Waterfall hike.

During the drive, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of rural landscapes, volcano silhouettes, and local Costa Rican life. Since this is a fully private experience, you may request stops at any time—whether for bathroom breaks, stretching your legs, grabbing a snack, or taking photos along the way. Your comfort is our priority.

Upon arrival in Curubandé, your driver will guide you to the entrance of the trail, where you’ll begin the unforgettable hike to La Leona Waterfall, known for its turquoise waters, canyon scenery, and adventurous river crossings. After the hike, you’ll return to the vehicle for a smooth, relaxing ride back to the Riu Guanacaste.
