Next stop is the orchid garden and the frog pond where you will see the small poison dart frog among others.

As you walk along, you spot flocks of colorful tropical birds flying near the falls. The gardens consist of three kilometers of paved trails throughout the lush rainforest.

Thanks to La Paz Waterfall Gardens, it is now possible to safety admire and photograph the beautiful waterfalls from a safe platform or balcony. The highlight of La Paz Waterfall Gardens is, of course, the waterfalls. You might even be visited by a buzzing hummingbird!
