    Anthony Adventure rocks!

    We've had an amazing experience on this excursion and would highly recommend Anthony and his team. Attractions were beautiful and nicely put together. Our driver Nes was professional, a true gentleman, and generous about sharing his knowledge of the region and its particulars.

    Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.

    How much does Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa Flamingo is not rushed.

    Is Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa Flamingo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa Flamingo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Playa Flamingo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Adventure Pass, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Playa Flamingo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Playa Flamingo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Pura Vida Waterfall Sloths and Miravalles Hot Springs Combo include hotel pickup?

    +
