Blue Falls of Costa Rica的点评
点评:This is a little off the beaten path but well worth it! We did just the Blue Falls (& not the nearby Catarata del Toro) because of lack of time. You drive up to Catarata del Toro which is where the tickets to that and the Blue Falls are sold (& restrooms), then back to Blue Falls parking lot. Need to be in decent shape to hike and wade through river/water in modestly strong currents (guides are super helpful, we tipped them at the end of the visit with tips left at the main office). First visit La Gemelas (wonderful twin waterfalls) but need to be careful walking and wading through the water, then we did Tepezquintle (which despite the posted 15min hike is more like 25 to 30 mins and is up and down, wading through water too) - worth it. Then back to Poza Azul (the swimming area), water was very cold for a good swim though in Apr 2025. Then you go back and do the other 3 waterfalls IF you have time and stamina - we did just the La Turquesa (La Pintada is the viewpoint only which we skipped and we didn't have time for La Celestial). La Turquesa also requires serious help from the guides (especially for our 9 year old boy, would not recommend for younger kids, even 8 or 9 is just about Ok). Bottom line, great falls but moderately long and strenuous hikes and need guides help several times (which they do provide).
翻译:这条路有点偏僻,但非常值得!因为时间不够,我们只去了蓝瀑布(没有去附近的托罗瀑布)。你可以开车去托罗瀑布,那里出售蓝瀑布和托罗瀑布的门票(和洗手间),然后返回蓝瀑布停车场。需要保持良好的体格才能在水流较强的河流/水中徒步和涉水(导游非常乐于助人,我们在参观结束时给了他们小费,小费留在了总办公室)。首先参观了拉赫梅拉斯(美妙的双瀑布),但行走和涉水时需要小心,然后我们去了特佩兹昆特尔(尽管宣传的徒步时间为 15 分钟,但实际花了 25 到 30 分钟,而且是上上下下,还要涉水)——值得。然后回到波萨阿祖尔(Poza Azul)(游泳区),虽然是2025年4月,但水温太低,不适合游泳。之后,如果你有时间和体力,可以回去看看另外三个瀑布——我们只去了La Turquesa(La Pintada是唯一的观景点,我们跳过了,而且我们没时间去看La Celestial)。La Turquesa也需要导游的大力帮助(尤其是对于我们9岁的儿子,不建议更小的孩子去,即使是8、9岁的孩子也差不多)。总之,瀑布很棒,但徒步距离适中且比较费力,需要导游多次帮助(他们确实会提供)。
