About this spot
Located in Montezuma, Costa Rica, this site is accessed by heading west along the primary road past Lucy's Restaurant. Beyond the bridge, look for a "Las Cascadas" marker and turn right at the subsequent intersection, then drive uphill on the steep road. Continue past the butterfly farm and take another right onto a dirt and grass track. Drive to its terminus at a half-circle jungle gym structure. A clearing on the left side of the vegetation marks the beginning of a stairway leading downward. Bear left as you descend and continue until reaching the river. Following the water's current brings you to two waterfall sections with a rope swing available. The first waterfall measures 10-15 feet in height, while the second reaches approximately 35-40 feet. A 90-foot waterfall exists downstream but is not recommended for jumping due to obscured safe landing zones and a history of tourist fatalities at this location. Occasionally, local jumpers may demonstrate this higher drop, though attempting it without local knowledge carries significant risk.
