Horseback adventure to Nauyaca Waterfalls

There are two famous waterfalls near Las Aguas Jungle Lodge. We just had the pleasure of hosting James and Luis Diego, of the Colours Oasis, and their friends. We all headed out for a day trip to climb and swim at the falls. The Cataratas Nauayaca (pictured here) is a giant 150' tall 3 tiered monster in the jungle with a large deep pond below the falls. Divers climb and ply the walls using only toe holds to take them high enough for some really amazing dives. Ropes are anchored in various places to help the novice ( or nervous) climbers get up.

There is a horseback tour out to the falls which is a

DONT MISS adventure here in the Perez Zeledon area.

#2 is The Catarata Diamante. It is the tallest in CR. It is an arduous 3 hour hike to get up the moutainside to a point above the falls where one can look out, but the vista is spectacular. Following the river up above the falls one finds a large cave, partially hidden by falling water. This is where some local eco-conscious residents offer rapelling, lunch and an overnight stay in the cave.
