This Double-decker Rainforest Waterfall Has It All!
Nauyaca is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Costa Rica and should be a stop on anyone’s list when visiting Costa Rica’s central pacific coast. Our Nauyaca tour includes a nice hike to the top tier of this epic 150 ft waterfall which will then be rewarded with a refreshing swim in the pool beneath the lower falls. We’ll also hop on a tractor ride up to our lunch spot to recharge after enjoying the falls.

Trip Overview
Our tour begins with an hour ride to Nauyaca, once there we will take a tractor down to the waterfall, all while learning about the area’s flora and fauna on the way.
On our hike you will be rewarded with swimming, jumping, and the stunning vistas of the Nauyaca Waterfall. This waterfall consists of 2 tiers, the bottom fall is ideal for swimming and jumping. The bottom tier is about 75 ft. The upper waterfall stands about 150 ft tall. Both have swimming holes and areas to explore.
