Take a break from San Jose downtown for a different kind of fun at Jaco beach with this waterfall exploring adventure. Your breathtaking adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in San Jose, and from there we’ll enjoy a scenic drive through the wonderful Costa Rican countryside.
Our first stop is at the Tarcoles River, home to one of the world’s largest crocodile populations in the wild. From the bridge we can admire these animals (from a short distance!). Next, we’ll take a comfortable drive to Jaco, just in time to meet your guide for the day and head to basecamp.
After fueling up with an authentic Costa Rican meal let’s hop in our 4×4 safari vehicles and drive up the mountain over 1000′ to get to our private reserve. Your guide will stop along the way to point out interesting flora and fauna and the incredible views of the ocean and countryside.
After a short (5 minute) downhill hike we will start our adventure through the river. We will hike up the river using trails and bridges that criss-cross the river allowing us to enjoy multiple smaller, interactive waterfalls and natural pools. There are 4 different swimming holes and many waterfalls to get under. These natural pools will invite you to swim in the fresh mountain spring water and submerge under the falls for an invigorating massage. For the more adventurous traveler there are a couple of places you can jump into the pools from 4′ and up to 25′! When you are done we have the 10 minute hike back to the truck. During the entire tour we are totally surrounded by beautiful Costa Rica virgin rainforest.
Bring your camera to capture all your amazing experiences and your guide will keep it in a dry bag and make sure it stays safe!
