We landed at San Jose's domestic airstrip at about 9 in the morning. A bus was waiting to drive us to Arenal with a planned stop, just about mid-way, at La Paz Waterfall Gardens. The Park comprises 70 acres of land including approximately 40 acres of cloud and rainforest and 30 acres of pastureland. There’s a fee to enjoy the park. A hand-band was given which entitled us to walk the gardens, at our own will and enjoy a lavish buffet lunch at their restaurant. Since time was limited, we restricted our walk along the 3.5 km trail (easy to medium) that took us past the 5 water falls. At the end of the trail the park’s shuttle bus got us back at the main gate. A little walk and we reached their restaurant… with a healthy appetite. Post lunch we drove towards Arenal; stopping en-route to photograph a toucan! La Paz Waterfall Gardens Image Gallery  Photo viewer
