Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Costa Rica’s southern rainforest on the Nauyaca Waterfall Adventure, a full-day experience that combines hiking, nature, and pure relaxation. Located just an hour from Manuel Antonio near Dominical, these magnificent twin waterfalls cascade over 60 meters (200 feet) into deep natural pools surrounded by lush jungle.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive through rolling hills, small villages, and dense rainforest until you reach the trailhead. From there, a moderate hike or optional 4×4 ride takes you to the falls — a hidden paradise where you can swim, take photos, or simply enjoy the thunderous sound of rushing water echoing through the forest.
The upper waterfall offers panoramic views and perfect photo opportunities, while the lower pool invites you to jump in and feel the power of nature firsthand. Along the way, you’ll spot toucans, butterflies, and maybe even howler monkeys swinging from the trees.
After your adventure, you’ll be treated to a delicious typical Costa Rican lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Manuel Antonio. This tour is the perfect combination of adventure, nature, and tranquility — a must for anyone visiting the Pacific Coast.
