El Cielo Waterfall Trail
Cascada El Cielo
A short hike through rainforest from the village, following a stream upstream to several small waterfalls and natural pools where you can swim.
The trail starts near the airstrip and takes about 40 minutes to an hour one way. You will need to cross the stream several times. Along the way you may see howler monkeys, poison dart frogs, and huge buttress trees. The trail ends at a series of small waterfalls and pools inside a nature reserve. There is a small entry fee for the protected area, and simple food stalls are available. Wear sandals or shoes that can get wet, bring insect repellent, and take care after rain when the stream levels rise.
