Llanos del Cortés Waterfall – A Beautiful Day Trip from Playas del Coco

Just about an hour from Playas del Coco, Llanos del Cortés Waterfall is one of Guanacaste's most beautiful natural attractions. Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, this spectacular waterfall cascades into a peaceful natural pool with a sandy shoreline, creating a wonderful place to relax, take photographs, and enjoy Costa Rica's natural beauty.

Located near Bagaces, approximately 60 km from TORO BLANCO Hotel, the waterfall is an easy and rewarding excursion for visitors looking to explore beyond the beach.

A short walk from the parking area brings you to the base of the falls, where you can admire the cascading water, relax on the sandy shore, and enjoy the surrounding tropical scenery. Swimming may be permitted in designated areas when conditions are safe, but swimming directly beneath the waterfall is not allowed.
