Your experience
Stop 1
Born from the river that carries the same name, this cascade shares its boundaries with the Arenal-Monteverde protected area, housing a wealth of wildlife and becoming very important for the conservation of tributaries that feed drinking water to surrounding towns. The guide will accompany you and show you the most important details of this rich area, where you will have the option of watching the beautiful waterfall from the viewpoint or walking about 300 meters on a very steep but safe pathway and getting very close to it. They are allowed to swim in the river, but not near the waterfall. It will be difficult to forget.
