Traveler Reviews

This was our second visit to La Paz and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Last time we visited was in the rainy season so we were surprised to see how green and beautiful it was in the dry season, too. We had an excellent lunch. If you want a taste of Costa Rica and only have a short time this is an excellent place to visit as you see the birds, animals, insects, flowers and waterfalls all in one place. La Paz also has a good tourist shop.

The tour was doomed from the beginning, our tour guide arrived 30 minutes late. When he finally showed up he spent 5 minutes explaining why he was late, and another 5 on the phone, instead of just getting a move on to get our tour started. We weren't angry at this point, in fact he was very chatty seemed pretty nice. However upon arrival to the wildlife refuge he spent an incredibly long time talking and talking and talking repeating the same things over and over again, when we just really wanted to get the tour started. He doesn't seem to know how to read people as we were clearly annoyed and our 4 year old was clearly impatient begging to get started. The tour guide is extremely repetitive and just likes to hear himself talk. We completed the tour on our own, and he was supposed to be waiting for us in the parking area to take us home once the activities were completed. However, we waited and waited and he was nowhere to be found. Finally we asked one of the parking lot at

El lugar está hermoso. La sentada es de 45 dlls por persona. Hay un acuario, hay serpientes, ranas, felinos, changos. Una casa en donde se muestra como vivían antes, pruebas agua miel y tamal de Maizena. Visitas las 4 cascadas dentro del parque más la de la paz que está fuera del parque. Hay muchas plantas hermosas y puedes comer en el restaurante

I really like the place but would not recommend to use this tour at all.
First we were just killing the time driving around as we were waiting to join another group and then they too k us to the local shop.left hotel 9.20 but did not arrive to la paz before 12.then we were Super rushing to manage all,and since the group we joined started at 7a.m they were complaining when we wanted to take extra pictures.i would recommend to organize your own transport and do it at your own pace!
