Sloth, Coffee & Chocolate Experience with Waterfall Swimming

Our tour guide Humberto was outstanding. He picked us up right on time at 7a from our hotel, and we did not have to wait a second longer, which was a plus. Not only that he gave us different options on where and what we could do on this tour, but he also allowed us plenty of free time to enjoy our time without feeling rushed. We truly appreciated Humberto’s professionalism. Bringing his mini tour guide also added playfulness into this tour. I would highly recommend requesting Humberto as a tour guide and would not think twice about rebooking him again for our future adventures. Thank you so much Humberto.

What a great day!! Our tour guide Humberto was wonderful… on time, helpful, flexible, and accommodating. He shared an enormous amount of information about the area and Costa Rica in general. Our combo included a side-by-side ride and stop at a local farm. What a wonderful experience and we had a blast! Highly recommend!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Hiking Guanacaste during our trip to Costa Rica! We wanted to experience more than just the beaches, and this tour was one of the best decisions we made during our vacation. Our day started at Llanos del Cortés, which was even more beautiful in person. The waterfall and surrounding scenery were incredible, and it was a great way to start the day. We also had the opportunity to see sloths and learn about the wildlife and nature around us. Seeing them in their natural environment was definitely one of those moments we will remember from our trip. One of our favorite parts was having an authentic Costa Rican lunch. It felt very different from simply eating at a tourist restaurant, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. We really enjoyed getting to experience some of the local food and culture along the way. The coffee and chocolate experience was another highlight. We learned more about how coffee and cacao are produced and got to taste them along the way. It was really interesting, especially because we had never experienced anything like that before. And a huge thank you to our guide, Ian! He was fantastic from beginning to end. Ian was extremely knowledgeable about Costa Rica, including the wildlife, plants, history, and local culture. He was also very friendly and patient with our group and answered all of our questions. You could tell he genuinely loves his country and enjoys sharing it with visitors. This tour gave us a great mix of nature, wildlife, food, culture, and beautiful scenery all in one day. We came back with some great photos and even better memories. If you’re visiting Guanacaste and want to experience a different side of Costa Rica beyond the beaches, we highly recommend this tour with Hiking Guanacaste. And if you can get Ian as your guide, you are in great hands!

We had such a great day with Hiking Guanacaste! We did the Llanos del Cortés waterfall, saw some amazing sloths, had a delicious local lunch, and finished with a coffee and chocolate experience. Every part of the day was well organized and felt very authentic. A special shoutout to José, who was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He knew exactly where to look for wildlife and taught us a lot about the local plants, animals, coffee, and chocolate. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. The waterfall was absolutely beautiful, and seeing the sloths up close was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The coffee and chocolate experience was also really interesting and gave us a chance to learn more about Costa Rican culture and how everything is produced locally. If you’re visiting Guanacaste and want to experience more than just the beaches, I highly recommend this tour and especially recommend asking for José. It was a fun, relaxed, and memorable day from start to finish!

Truly such an incredible experience! Costa Rica is beautiful in all ways. The views are spectacular, the food is delicious and the people are amazing. Our tour guide- Humberto made our excursions special. I highly recommend you book and have the time of your life. PURA VIDA

Llanos del Cortés was such a beautiful place to visit. The waterfall itself is impressive, but what really made this experience special was being able to combine it with the rainforest and the natural surroundings instead of simply stopping for a few pictures and leaving. The area around the waterfall is incredibly peaceful and green, and it gives you a completely different feeling from the beaches and more developed tourist areas of Costa Rica. Walking through the rainforest and taking the time to look around made us appreciate just how much biodiversity there is in this part of the country. One of the highlights was getting to see a sloth during the experience. Seeing wildlife in its natural environment is something that feels completely different from seeing animals in a zoo or sanctuary. It was one of those unexpected moments that made the day even more memorable. We also enjoyed learning more about Costa Rican nature and the local environment along the way. The experience never felt rushed, and there was enough time to actually enjoy each place rather than feeling like we were simply moving from one attraction to another. The tour company did a great job organizing everything and making the day easy and enjoyable. Transportation, timing, and the overall experience were handled very professionally. If you’re visiting Costa Rica and want to experience a beautiful waterfall while also getting a taste of the rainforest and local wildlife, Llanos del Cortés is definitely worth adding to your itinerary. It was a relaxing, beautiful, and genuinely memorable part of our Costa Rica trip.
