Waterfall

Message from

Catarata Vuelta del Canon is only reachable by a 5 kilometer (about 3 miles) hike from the main road.

Even though the area is generally much less visited by tourists compared to other parts of Costa Rica, this waterfall is due to it´s location even less visited than most other waterfalls in the area.

The hike includes several muddy trails, some rock climbing and 14 river crossings, but more about that in the hike section.

Once you arrive at the waterfall, you will be blown away by it's beauty. Pictures don't do this place justice. The remote location, clear blue water and two level falls and beautiful pool to swim in are just incredible.

This waterfall is on private property. You will have to pay the farmer to walk through his property to see the waterfall. It is not well marked, so a guide is advised.
