Geocache Description:

Some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Costa Rica, this is only a short hike from the road and a popular destination for cooler, salt-free swimming!


In total, there are three waterfalls, all placed extremely close to one another. The first fall you'll encounter during your trek upriver is the largest, somewhere around 80 feet high. This is a good spot to lounge, swim, or simply relax and enjoy the beauty of the cascading water. This is where most folks stop hiking and thus it's the most crowded, often with risky cliff divers and local vendors about. Continuing uphill past this waterfall leads you to the second, 50-foot fall. This waterfall can be jumped off of, but still, be careful. The third and final waterfall is directly above this one, and offers perhaps the best place to kick back or swim. The waterfall itself is only about 10 feet high, and flows into a calm pool that is perfect for splashing about. Along one side of the pool is a nice rope swing, and there are many other areas that are suitable for relaxing, picnicking, or sunbathing.

The geocache is located up the slope of the hiking trail just as you catch your first glimpse of the largest and most stunning waterfall. It's about eight feet away from a large tree with three knobs going down the left side with the waterfall in the background. This is an extremely high muggle area but we figured folks would be so entranced by the waterfall they might not notice a crafty cacher taking a quick scramble a few feet up the slope. The cache is placed just above a rock flake about the size of a small day pack and there's an orange streamer tied a foot away but who knows how long it will remain there.

The container itself is a small duct taped plastic mini-M&M tube so bring small SWAG and a pen!

Happy hunting!!
