Entrance fee is now 2,000 Colon per person but you don’t pay extra for parking. We used our own SUP and had to rent only a life jacket which costs 2,000 as well. The water is calm, views are nice and we didn’t smell any animal urine at all. There are bathrooms and a shower and you can also fill up your bottles with drinking water.

Positives: clear volcanic lake with almost nobody here, relatively cheap day trip (by Costa Rican standards). See other posts for accurate day use fees. Water temp is excellent for swimming and good birding. Deepest lake in CR: 67 meters!

Negatives: very strong odor of cow and pig manure at the lake and in the fields that surround the lake. Renting a kayak is c5000/per person/hour! $$$ The fish nibble your skin while you stand in shallow water (maybe this is a positive?). The wild camp spot overlooking the lake is only one meter off the road and not very level. Did I mention the smell of animal manure!?
