About this tour

A half-day ride through hills and forest to two waterfalls with a swim, a snack break and a traditional meal.

This ride starts in the countryside, a 30-minute ride from Villa Nueva. Trails wind through hills and rainforest to the banks of a quiet river, an easy 90-minute ride.

A short hike brings you to two waterfalls, with a clear pool under the falls for a swim. Snacks are juice, water, fruit and cookies.

Then you ride for another hour before a traditional Costa Rican lunch. It is a half-day trip that suits couples, groups and families.
