  • Lovely hike with a few bridges and pretty waterfall! The trail is well maintained, be prepared for some steps! Car parking is available, and only $6 entrance fee per person. This activity is pet friendly, we brought our leashed dog. Don’t forget waste bags, and always be respectful of others and wildlife with your pet :)
  • Very cool and semi-secret place to visit! You just have to pay $6 at the gate and then you can walk yourself down to the waterfall. The walk down was easy and clear to follow straight to the waterfall. We were able to swim around for a while and then hiked back up the stairs when we were ready. One of our favorite waterfalls of the whole trip!
  • We still had a few hours until our bus left, so we decided to go here. No regrets, it's a really lovely place to spend 1-2 hours. There's a little walk through the forest, down into the valley, then along a little creek that ends in a really nice waterfall. We saw lots of little birds, butterflies and sooo many busy little leaf cutter ants. Of course, if you're hiking in the mountains, surrounded by rain forest, you should bring sturdy shoes and prepare for rain.
  • awesome little waterfall hike. was $6 usd at the gate i think. maybe 20 minutes down to the falls. if you go in the late afternoon, walk back towards town for 5 or 10 minutes and you will come across the best mirador in monteverde to watch the sunset. enjoy!
  • A hidden gem, a little off the beaten track, and at only $6 a real find. There is a 20 minute walk, down rickety steps and paths, to an oasis waterfall grotto which is absolutely stunning. The water is clear fast and beautifully chilled and the pool is sandy underfoot. This has become my new happy place, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
