La Paz (Spanish: "the peace") is a waterfall in central Costa Rica.

It is 31 kilometres (19 mi) north of Alajuela, between Vara Blanca and Cinchona.

The River La Paz forms the waterfall after traversing 8 kilometres (5 mi) of volcanic terrain, and then continues through the rainforest of the eastern side of Poás Volcano.

The waterfall and surrounding area were severely damaged in the 6.1 magnitude earthquake of January 8, 2009.
