Additional Information

From the beach to the tropical rainforest. It’s only a short walk from Playa Negra and you’ll begin diving into the rainforest. First crossing an old cacao farm. Then you’ll pass three humble huts of indigenous families. One hour in you’ll be in the depth of the forest. This jungle has species of plants and shrubs with healing properties. A wide variety of palms and giant trees over 250 years old. About 2 hours in you’ll be approaching a great surprise. Descend to the KEKOLDI river. Following it until we encounter an imposing 45 meters high waterfall. Enjoy swimming and appreciating the tropical jungle at this secret and remote place. After enjoying this magical, it’s time to head back to the start. You should know we will be walking in the jungle, so you might get some mud on your shoes. And if it’s raining we will still get mud so don’t let a rainy day stop us. Total distance is 10km. For some people the hick could be a challenge.

A wonderful journey through the jungle to a spectacular waterfall. - A truly wonderful experience exploring the jungle behind Puerto Veijo and swimming under an incredible waterfall. Esteban has an incredible knowledge of plants, animals, history and culture which made the journey all the more interesting. There are many beautiful plants and animals to see on the way, even some unique fruits to try. The hike is the perfect difficulty to be truly rewarded when arriving at the waterfall. Highly recommend this experience.

Amazing adventure!! - Amazing experience!! Estaban was a great guide. We learned so much from him about Costa Rica. The hike is hard but the views are so worth it — one of our favorite adventures throughout our whole trip.

Amazing experience ♥️ - From start to finish, Lynch (Local Guide) gave us a lot of information about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica, on the hike (which is moderate) you see many animals! Birds, insects, sloths, etc! It is an adventure I recommend if you like to enjoy nature, disconnect pure air and sound of the jungle. I did other tours and personally this one is high. I felt very confident with the Guide and enjoyed this experience, fully recommended!!!!

Amazing experience! - We had a great time hiking with Lynch. He is knowledgeable, friendly, easy going and patient. We got to see parts of the rainforest that we couldn't see by ourselves and swimming in the waterfall was awesome.
