Los Ángeles Waterfall tour from Nosara: Private nature hike

Waterfall swim, farm visit, and birdwatching in one morning from Nosara

A private nature tour from Nosara takes you on gentle hiking trails to Los Ángeles Waterfall, where you swim in a pool surrounded by forest. Along the way you visit a local farm to taste seasonal fruit and watch traditional sugarcane processing, observe birds in their habitat, and stop at scenic viewpoints overlooking the Pacific. The tour runs 2.5 hours and includes entrance fees. Children from age 1 are welcome.

The experience

The tour starts from Nosara and follows natural trails inland toward Los Ángeles Waterfall. You walk at a moderate pace through rural landscape, passing fruit plantations and stopping at a working farm where you can taste what grows there and see how sugarcane is processed by hand. The farm sits close enough to the waterfall that the whole route stays manageable in a morning.

At Los Ángeles Waterfall itself, you get time to swim in the pool at the base, surrounded by lush vegetation and the sound of water falling. The area is active with local and migratory birds, so birdwatching happens naturally as you move through the trails rather than as a separate stop. Multiple viewpoints along the route frame ocean views where the Pacific meets the horizon, and the tour times the route to catch the light at different angles.

Entrance fees are included in the booking. The hike is gentle rather than strenuous, and the private format means the pace and stops adjust to your group. Service animals are welcome, and public transportation options exist nearby if you need them, though most travelers arrange pickup from their Nosara accommodation.
