Waterfalls Galore in Costa Rica

The wet rain forest climate and mountainous terrain of the Southern Pacific Zone in Costa Rica meld to create incredible waterfalls. We are lucky to have 5 here around the resort at Las Aguas Jungle Lodge. Each has its own personality and changes with the season, if not by the day. At times the cacades are soothing and cool, at times torrential and frightening. Some are more playful and some are more awe inspiring. In the peak of the dry summer they even seem tired and almost spent in the heat. The rocks around the rivers and falls can be extremely slippery so please exercise extreme caution . The tropical forests surounding Las Aguas afford plenty of privacy and an opportunity to let loose some inhibitions. I encourage you to go ahead and kick off your hikers and shorts and play in the falls. Clothing is not optional in the public areas of the hotel here at Las Aguas but out in the jungle, one can find pure relaxation laying under the sun, naked, in a crystal clear stream.




Some of our guests have even told us that the best moments of their trip were here in the waterfalls right on our property. Even a group of pampered gay gentlemen from Manhatten had great time getting sweaty and muddy in the jungle and then cooling off in the falls. It is tiring work getting through the forests and up the hills, so after hiking all day, I recommend a pineapple martini with a garnish of ibuprofen and a soak in the spa to take care of those sore leg muscles .

Dee at RainbowTourism took some great pix of the falls around Las Aguas an her recent visit and has them posted on her site.
