Choose your level of excitement
Portalon Waterfall - the first jump!
Difficulty: Easy
Cross a creek and stand on the slab and leap from the side of the Portalón Waterfall, feet first into the emerald waters, feel your heart pumping more blood and hear the air bubbles bursting as you emerge to the water surface. Guides will help you make your way out to the riverbank.
20-foot Pavon Waterfall - the Naturally Sculptured Rock
Difficulty: Advance for the main falls; Many people just absorb the view of the falls and foliage.
Thrill in standing on a boulder suspended between two rock cliffs above a waterfall! Or, simply admire the natural sculpture presented by the rocks and the moss draped over the boulders. For those of you who are adrenaline junkies, you can cliff dive, for everyone else just enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waterfall or air bend to immerse your head unto a small cascade to hear the deep roar of the waterfall.
Satisfy your appetite with a farm-to-table meal that includes Tilapia fish or free-range chicken with organic vegies, Patacones (fried green plantains), boiled cassava and a salad with a splash of lime. The restaurant grows fresh organic greens and fruits at the pace of nature, harvests Tilapia fish in its own natural pools and allows their animals to roam free in the farm.
Ventanas Beach
To do: explore caves, sunbathe and enjoy the scenery
Head to the beach for 45 minutes to soak up the sun in Ventanas Beach and walk inside the caves and idyllic natural rock formations. Hop back into the van to discover the last waterfall.
25-foot Uvita Waterfall aka Cascada Verde - a Waterfall Sliding Rock
Difficulty: fearlessly easy
Adrenaline rushes as you slide from the top of the waterfall over the rock up to 25 feet into the emerald waters at the bottom. A slide worthy of a picture or video!
You will be following a well-worn path with steps in the forest that will lead you to this waterfall with the guides making sure that you follow this path.
