Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start your journey from Nicoya town. Head northwest on Route 150, following the signs towards Santa Cruz. After about 10 kilometers, turn left onto Route 21 towards Hojancha. Continue on Route 21 for approximately 12 kilometers, then turn right onto a dirt road that leads to La Roca Waterfall. The last part of the journey is on a gravel road; be cautious as it can be bumpy. Park your car in the designated area near the waterfall entrance.

Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, catch a bus from Nicoya to Hojancha. Buses run frequently throughout the day, and the fare is around 500-1000 colones. Once you arrive in Hojancha, you can either take a taxi or arrange for a local shuttle to take you to La Roca Waterfall. Be sure to confirm the price beforehand with the taxi driver or shuttle service, as costs can vary.

Walking

If you prefer to walk from the drop-off point (if you take a taxi or shuttle), it is about a 1-kilometer hike to La Roca Waterfall. Follow the marked path that leads through the beautiful forested area, taking in the sights and sounds of nature. The path is relatively well-maintained, but wear sturdy shoes as the terrain can be uneven.
