On the off chance that you're searching for a special and gutsy cascade climb in Costa Rica, then you need to visit Catarata La Leona. La Leona cascade is a little blue cascade concealed somewhere down in the ravines and caverns of the a stunning blue waterway. I would rather not offer an excessive amount of immediately so perused on in our post!

To begin with, how about we go over the significant subtleties and afterward we'll hop into the experience. On the off chance that you might want to book this as a visit with roundtrip transportation, if it's not too much trouble, look to the lower part of this post to book your visit.

During our climb, our aide shared realities about the remarkable tropical dry timberland and brought up intriguing trees and plants. He additionally let us know the legends behind the name "Curubande" and "Rincon de la Vieja."

Rincon de la Vieja implies the elderly person's corner in Spanish and Curubande is the name of the town boss' girl. In the legend, Curubande went gaga for the child of the adversary clan's boss. They had an unfortunate romantic tale so at whatever point local people heard clearly wailing breeze around evening time, they would agree that she was still up there in the ravines, crying and lamenting over her tragically missing affection and child.

Hearing these accounts as we crossed the blue waterways and pools caused the spot to feel considerably more mysterious.

After we crossed the stream once and for all, our aide let us know that the time had come to investigate the gulches. He fired strolling up a slope loaded with rocks and tree limbs. In spite of the fact that it didn't seem to be a very remarkable way, we followed him up.

The Caves and Canyons
We arose on the opposite side of this slope to an open gulch and caverns. Our aide clarified for us that the stone development came from the last volcanic ejection ages ago and presently during specific months of the year, it's home to lechuzas, or little owls. Subsequently the name, Cañon La Lechuza.

As we strolled through the cavern, I turned upward and could see minimal fuzzy appearances looking down on us. They weren't owls however bats and they were simply hanging up there, snoozing and looking at us.

At a certain point, I felt like the climb transformed into a buckling visit as our aide drove through additional caverns and gorge. What's more, every opportunity I came out the opposite side of a cavern, I felt like I had recently passed into a different universe!

After what felt like the fifth or sixth cavern, we happened upon a quiet part of the waterway. This pool was totally peaceful and calm with a splendid blue tone. We were hot and sweat-soaked from strolling so we hopped in immediately!

Despite the fact that we were having some good times swimming and hopping into the pool at this spot, our aide before long said Vamos! Furthermore, we saw him like, what as of now? Si, he said with a huge grin all over. Esto no es el parte lo más bonito del río (This isn't the most gorgeous piece of the waterway).

So we set our shoes back on and followed him somewhat further down the waterway until we at long last arrived at the real access to the Catarata La Leona. We understood precisely why before our aide said we hadn't arrived at the most pleasant piece of the stream yet!

Showing up at Catarata La Leona - the Last Stretch
A huge and quiet blue pool arose before us and I saw a rope in the water, extended towards the cavern toward the back. I could faintly hear a thunder of crashing water coming from the cavern and my energy level crested again as our aide made sense of for us the following stage.

We needed to swim through the gorge into the cavern, utilizing the rope to pull us along and in the cavern, was the cascade. Task bien? he inquired.

When we said OK, he hopped into the water immediately and motioned us to follow him.

Fortunately the water level was not excessively profound and the momentum was not areas of strength for so it was not difficult to swim to the cavern. At the point when I arrived at the cavern, he lifted me up out of the water, raised me onto the stones and advised me to pivot.

When I pivoted, the extraordinary Catarata La Leona cascade showed up before my eyes. We at last came to the cascade subsequent to traveling up rough slopes, moving through caverns and swimming through stream pools!

Catarata La Leona isn't enormous yet being concealed inside a cavern made it all more unique, particularly taking into account we needed to swim, climb and journey across the woodland and streams to arrive!

Ways to visit
What to wear: Swim suit, garments that can get wet and dry quick (I wore Roxy board shorts and a Nike dri fit shirt) and shut toed shoes.

You probably shut toed shoes due to every one of the stones. Yeison and I both wore shut toed KEEN climbing shoes which are perfect for water and land. Assuming that you wear sneakers and socks, your socks will get dousing wet. I disdain the sensation of wet socks so I love my climbing shoes.

Women, you can wear your bathing suit while it's swimming time however I don't suggest wearing JUST a swimsuit. Our aide educated me concerning numerous women who wore just a two-piece which in a real sense moved washed away down the stream because of the solid current. Wow!

If you have any desire to wear simply your bathing suit during the swimming part, wear a one piece.

What to bring: Change of garments, towel, sunscreen, cap, waterproof camera (we utilized our GoPro 8) and waterproof rucksacks and dry packs.

The aide furnished us with their own dry pack however tragically it had an opening so Yeison's telephone got wet and it kicked the bucket
