The road out of the Central Valley softens into a misting shoulder of cloud forest as your private vehicle climbs toward La Paz Waterfall Gardens. Windows frame steep green slopes, quicksilver rivers and the occasional coffee finca; the driver eases around hairpins while the mist seems to reach in and pull you toward the falls.
