The walk to the falls is possible before half a day, at 9 am it is usually the time we make tours, if it has been raining days before it is likely that you can not make the walk. If it rains on the same day it is not possible to take the hike and if it is raining either because it is a canyon of a river, there may be landslides, rocks falling, trees etc. Near the place there are "pulperías" that are mini supermarkets, one called “Yirufa” is the most complete. In the center of La Alegría there are 2 soditas, “Soda Yoli” and “Soda Delicias” are cheap small restaurants but only speak Spanish. In addition, La Alegría also has a bakery and butcher shop (butcher shop is only open Monday through Friday and closes at noon ). There's also a vegetable shop, and a gentleman sells fruit from downtown to Maquengue on the street. Large supermarkets are only in Guapiles if coming from San Jose would be the best option, there is “Maxipali” which is from the “Walmart” chain, there is also a “Megasuper” (both on Route 32) which is a smaller supermarket. Diving towards the center there is a "masxmenos" there are some deli items.
