This Costa Rican waterfall is located just north of Palo Verde National Park near the town of Bagaces in Guanacaste, the capital of the region. Llanos del Cortes is approximately a 30 minute drive from Liberia. With friendly, welcoming locals and picturesque views of the Guanacaste countryside, Bagaces is an ideal place to stop, and enjoy a cold drink on your way to Liberia or the province’s national parks.
Llanos del Cortés is a hidden gem with rocky cliffs to climb and a sandy beach along the pool for swimming at the base of the waterfall. This waterfall is less than 2 hours from the coastal beaches of Tamarindo, Flamingo, Playa Conchal, and Playa Hermosa. These falls are also a great stop for those traveling between the mountain towns La Fortuna and Monteverde and the coastal beach towns.
Llanos de Cortes is a beautiful location for a wedding ceremony. We have planned small weddings and elopements at this unique waterfall.
