There are no stairs there. Maybe you're confusing it with Rio Celeste waterfall? That one does have stairs, which I have climbed indeed haha

Nope sorry. I was in La Fortuna waterfall in Alajuela. You can swim at the base and walk down the stream. the hike to La Fortuna Waterfall is down 500 steps.
Check it out next time!

The ice cold Imperial when you get back to the top was the best. Absolutely exhausting day that day. We did a hike, hanging bridges, and the waterfall all in a day. Seriously one of the best days of my life.

We loved the waterfall in La Fortuna. Really enjoyed cliff repelling also as well as the white water rapids by raft. Such an amazing country ā¤ļø. Was lucky to find Imperial at a store in Houston near us just recently. Good stuff!

Yes we did. It was great. Our guide was very solid and pointed out all the wildlife that we would've otherwise missed if we had gone alone. We loved the history lessons that came on the hike too. Such a beautiful country all the way around.

I am unsure if the rules on earth porn prohibit naming for profit business or anything. But imo the view would be worth the meal alone even if it was a bit underwhelming.

I already answered some questions, but I'll leave this info here for everybody, since I wasn't very specific with the title:
You can find the place on Google Maps as "Soda y mirador Cinchona", and it's located in Cinchona, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica. The food was good, and it was fairly priced considering the heavenly view.
You can also see lots of birds there, including hummingbirds and toucans.
Note: Alajuela is a whole province, but this is also the name of the province's capital and it caused some confusion, so I thought I would clarify that too.
C-A-S-O t1_ix8djy8 wrote
If I'm not mistaken by the waterfall and foliage this is catarata la paz. (Just giving more info not contradicting you)
[deleted] t1_ixb1miu wrote
Same river (coincidentally named La Paz), but different waterfall, this one is San Fernando waterfall, it is downstream from La Paz waterfall. The giveaway is the lack of the road and bridge.

I def want to vaca in Costa Rica. I should put it on my short list.
BrerChicken t1_ix61nsi wrote
FYI "vaca" means cow in Costa Rica and many, many, many other places. I think you're going for "vacay."
RubesSnark t1_ix62izw wrote
Ironically the same way vacation is shortened to vacay, in Spanish vacaciones is shortened to vaca sometimes. Although it also means cow, context is used to differentiate the meanings.
BrerChicken t1_ix6856h wrote
Yes but in that case vaca and vacaciĆ³n both have the identical starting sound. I'm just saying, in English it's usually spelled "vacay," that's all.
reggae-mems t1_ix9ecp7 wrote
No no you say "vacas" in plural. Nobody says vaca for vaccay in spanish. It has to be vacas. As in "necesito unas buenas vacas"

Go, you absolutely will not regret it. It's affordable, safe (especially for central america), and absolutely stunning. You will not regret going, and you'll make tons of rad tico friends and just.. just go.
cloppyfawk t1_ix6h715 wrote
Affordable? Jeeeee I am in Costa Rica right now and have been travelling for the past year+ already, but Costa Rica is the most expensive country I have been so far. It's significantly more expensive than back home (Western Europe) aswell.
I paid 10$ for a regular, simple loaf of bread and 6 eggs in the grocery store today. Beat that.
danielleiellle t1_ix6st4d wrote
Groceries are somewhat exceptional because of protectionist import taxes on food. But that is still pretty high for the country based on market data- were they special or did you buy at a gourmet market?
As a tourist, CR is cheap. You can get a seaside resort hotel room with a private balcony and breakfast included for $100 USD and get laundry done for about $2/piece. Nothing I could afford perpetually but much cheaper than most luxury tropical destinations.
cloppyfawk t1_ix6txo7 wrote
Well your experience is very very different than mine then. But I am also not a luxury traveller. Costa Rica has been significantly more than twice as expensive as the 20+ other countries I have visited in the past year.

Stay outta the tourist traps.
flyonlewall t1_ix7l67i wrote
I was staying at a Hostel for $10/night US inc breakfast in Alajuela. Food is a bit more expensive, like you said, if you buy import items specifically. Snickers were like $4 (in 2015), and a 5th of Jack Daniel's was nearly $80.
But (at the time), eating like a local was very cheap. Rice and beans aren't expensive. I was buying whole roasting chickens for $3 US. Bread was pricey then, too. Nuts were also shockingly cheap, as were exotic fruits. Perhaps not at the mercado in town, but roadside? Local? The Costa Ricans aren't idiots and you'll pay a tourist tax there if you stay in tourist spots.
I stayed in Costa Rics for 3 months, my entire length allowable, and I spent $2000 US including airfare, passport fees, and I lived luxurious like smoking weed (VERY EXPENSIVE). I stayed between hostels, and worked a bit on a farm. I guess depends how you do things.. but CR can be done cheap. There's a reason it's the new Vietnam.
SteamZerjack t1_ix77uw9 wrote
Where on earth are you getting that for 10 usd? Thatās like 5 bucks just about everywhere. And while getting some very good bread at that. Unless youāre getting your groceries dead in the middle of a tourist zone or something.
CR is more expensive than other Latin American countries but not by that much.

It was one of the biggest grocery stores right outside of Puerto Viejo.

Nicaragua is nearby with similar landscape, flora, and fauna, but much cheaper is the draw. Not nearly as developed for tourists though as Costa Rica (transportation, guides, national parks, etc.). Maybe preferred if you are a low budget traveler that prefers off the beaten path.

Nicaragua is what Costa Rica was like before it got overly Americanized. Outside of honeymooners and the fancy resort crowd the people I know who visited both generally prefer Nicaragua.
Sedixodap t1_ix8wgwz wrote
Which isn't to speak poorly of Costa Rica, sometimes more similar to home is good for a vacation, especially if you're short on time and looking for something easy. If I was taking my mom on a trip it would totally be my choice. But solo or with a friend? Nica wins.

Cloud_of_Twat_Mist t1_ix7d958 wrote
I had a similar experience but I slummed it in hostels and on bikes, so it would probably be better in nicer accomidations on the north shore. on my taxi ride to the initial hotel I saw 2 dead bodies on the street from (I'm assuming) traffic accidents, and I almost got mugged twice. Got arrested once (but that was my bad, smoking weed) but let go when they saw I was broke, and I sweated so hard every day I got heat rash all in my business and had to buy fucking diaper cream, which sucked to explain to the grocery people in broken spanish/English. I was in Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean side. The 4-5 hour bus ride to get there was scary as fuck too.
I was a 21 year old skinny white guy traveling alone too though, which isnt the safest either. I would like to re-try maybe
