Excellent horse riding tour to the waterfalls in La Fortuna with Esteban from Gerzan Tours. It was fabulous. Great all round.

Great experience for the family! We had an amazing time horseback riding and walking down to a fabulous view of the waterfall. Be aware you can only swim when it is calm. We went on a very rainy day and the falls were to rough to swim in. My children were thrilled with this experience being that it was their first time on a horse. So much fun!

We had a great horseback ride to La Fortuna Waterfall. The ride there was on a dirt road. Our guide pointed out a couple of sloths in the trees as well as some birds (FYI - he said that toucans can often be seen around 3-4 pm). Only vehicle on the road was a tractor and wagon full of people doing the ziplining (which looked fun). There is a short walk up the road from the horse pen at the top to the staircase and then down (as others have described). Saw no-one else on the way down. At the bottom it is a little crowded at the waterfall, but still a sight to behold. Was fun to swim in the pool near the waterfall and the water wasn't too cold (although the rocks were slippery). Walk up the stairs wasn't as bad as we expected and our guide stopped to allow slower people in our party to rest. At the top, we were provided pineapple and bottles of water. On the ride back we went on a trail over a stream. We were able to get a great view of the volcano as the clouds lifted. Highly recommend this ride (the group with us hadn't ridden in a while and they loved it).
