What people are saying about Liberia, Costa Rica

Well worth the money the paid. We started out with the 6 zipline canopy tour, which was excellent. Then moved on to hanging bridges with great views. After that, we had lunch (buffet style) at the resort. After lunch, we went on a 30-45 minute horseback ride. We then changed into our bathing suits & went down the natural waterside. Afterwards, we went on the tractor ride that took us to the foot of the trail to get to the waterfall. The hike only took about 10 minutes. The waterfall was beautiful. We were able to see monkeys eating and swinging above the waterfall. Then we hiked back to the beginning of the hill where we were met by the tractor for another short ride to the spa. We spent 5 minutes in the sauna, then to the volcanic mud bath, then to the natural hot springs. It was a nice way to end the trip...relaxed. Lester was our tour guide. He was knowledgeable and professional. Be prepared for a 2 hour drive to the place from Tamarindo.

The people at the front desk at this resort were amazing and very accommodating as we were running late for our tour. I believe our tour guide was Eric. He was amazing! Very confident riding horses, which made us feel more confident knowing that he was always there to help if we needed anything. The horses were very well behaved, and seemed happy and well-fed. Oropendola waterfalls is unreal! Absolute paradise!

Amazing experience- Ivan was such a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide! Only thing to note is that it will not get back on time. We read reviews and expected this, so we didn’t plan anything afterwards- it ended up being 11 hours.
