When is it Best to Hike La Leona Waterfall?
Our tours operate all year long and each time of year offers a different experience.
The most popular time to visit the waterfall is during the dry season. During this time usually the sun is shining and it the warm Costa Rican weather you picture. One downside about this time of year is it is the busiest time of year for tourism meaning the waterfall may be a bit more crowded and you will need to book a reservation further in advance.
The more underrated time to visit La Leona Waterfall is during the rainy season. This time of year, the waterfall is a lot emptier because less people travel to Costa Rica during this time. Most people are intimidated by the rainy season but we always just recommend that people book tours in the morning. Most of the time when we do get rain here it is in the afternoon, (the rainy season does not mean rain all day long). This time of year, is also an awesome time to go river tubing because the water levels are higher causing the best rapids.
