The Explorer Waterfall Hike

Feel the true meaning of Pura Vida on this guided river trek in the hills above the Pacific. After a Costa Rican meal at base camp, ride 4x4 safari vehicles over 1,000 ft up to a private reserve, where your guide points out flora, fauna and sweeping ocean views. A short hike leads you up a river crisscrossed by trails and bridges, past four swimming holes and many waterfalls — swim in fresh mountain spring water, sit under the falls, or leap in from 4 to 25 feet. Surrounded by virgin rainforest the whole way.
