Warning
Important to know
The river’s blue color depends heavily on the weather; conditions and flow can change rapidly. As most waterfalls are still visible even during heavy rains, swimming will be prohibited and impossible. We can close access to any of the blue waterfalls at any time. Our tour guides monitor conditions to protect your safety and well-being. During the rainy season, the best time to view the Blue Falls and their vibrant colors is in the morning. Please arrive as early as possible. It is all for your safety and our peace of mind. If the falls are closed, Catarata Del Toro remains accessible.
Warning
As Costa Rica is a beautiful country and everything looks so good, you can sometimes forget that there are also dangers. We want to explain some of them to increase your awareness.
Blue Falls of Costa Rica
Dangers include flooding, slippery rocks, currents, and possibly a snake. Therefore, be cautious at all times, especially during the rainy season. Get out of the way during an earthquake, whether big or small. Do not jump into the river; walk carefully and watch where you put your hands and feet. When you swim, watch for turbulence in the water in front of waterfalls and rapids.
Bajos del Toro area
The dangers are:
Tours to Poás: It is illegal, and for a reason. The volcano is active; it can erupt at any moment. And then you do not want to be near. See the video here. Additionally, the volcano continuously expels gases, which are not noticeable. Those gases will damage your lungs; read here and here.
Rappel tours can be fun and exciting. However, be cautious during the rainy season. Only choose the best of the best, as you don’t want to risk your life. We have 100% trust in Drops Canyoning; contact them at +506 8667-6370 or +506 8892-3048.
