Private Full Day Local 3 Waterfalls Experience in Curubande





Description
This unique adventure is exclusive to us! Enjoy the day like a local, starting with relaxing tubing down a stunning blue river, followed by a short hike to a small waterfall and to an awesome cliff-jumping spot. Next, hike 30 minutes down adventurous mountain trails, coves, cliffs, and ladders, then swim with a rope against the current to a magical waterfall, true Indiana Jones-style!

This tour involves climbing ladders, caves, and walking on extremely slippery submerged rocks. For safety, guests without proper athletic footwear cannot participate. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a traditional local Casado lunch. To wrap up, take a 5-minute hike down a secret local path to a massive 90ft waterfall, where you can head to the top and swim down at its base!

Arturo was awesome. Super friendly, knowledgeable about Costa Rica and the world at large making even the drive between stops enjoyable. The waterfalls were beautiful and lunch was great too. As an added bonus, Arturo took photos and videos of the whole thing for us! We highly recommend.
Incredible experience. We started with the lazy river and then hiked to three waterfalls, each were magical, and all three were very different. We saw iguanas, monkeys, owls, and the most beautiful water hidden in the tropics of Costa Rica. Nancy, our guide, was amazing, patient, and full of great information. Very happy with our experience.
This was a great adventure. Plan for a very active day with rewarding views at each location. Lunch was delicious.
This trip was amazing one that you have to experience in person. Out your guide was very knowledgeable and very attentive. He made you feel very safe.
We are delighted to hear that.
Alejandro was a great guide. Very personable and made our family of four comfortable and feeling well attended to. La Leona was the best out of the three waterfalls but is for adventure seekers only. I would suggest those with any mobility or physical limitations to consider a different trip. Our family included teens but we did see families with kids who were helped along with other tour guides. All in all, a great experience and lifetime memories were made.
Amazing tour, our guide Sebastin was very friendly and knowledgable! I highly recommend this tour, every spot they took us was amazing and the video we received was a perfect memory of our incredible trip! This is a must do trip, worth every dollar!
WOOOW the best adventure of my life, I will never forget. Paradise place i loveeeee
Carlos was an amazing guide! This was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We did little to no research on the waterfalls we were going to but we were so pleasantly surprised! The first stop Poza Los Coyotes was so beautiful and crystal blue water. We got to do a lazy river experience here, which was a great way to ease into the day. La Leona was definitely the highlight and was quite the adventure to get to but we felt safe the entire time. Make sure to bring water shoes, regular hiking shoes will not cut it! We got lucky as it was not crowded at all. Carlos explained that sometimes you have to wait a very long time to even get to the waterfall. After the hike to La Leona we had the most delicious local Costa Rican meal with rice, beans, chicken, and fried plantain. The final waterfall we visited was very chill and quiet. We saw howler monkeys, iguanas, bats, frogs all long our journey. Each waterfall was extremely unique from the other. Carlos documented our whole journey and made sure to send us all the photos and videos at the end. Would definitely recommend this 8 hour excursion to get a good taste of the waterfalls Costa Rica has to offer!
Our excursion with Carlos was absolutely incredible. The tubing and cliff jumping/rope swinging into the lagoon was so much fun. The second trip which included a jungle hike (we saw howler monkeys, snakes, and iguanas) and swimming through a raging river in a cave to one of the most beautiful waterfalls we’ve ever seen was like nothing we’ve ever done before. Our local lunch was peaceful and delicious before the final hike and massive waterfall. We enjoyed free coconut water and story after story from our guide Carlos, who made sure we had as authentically local of a trip as possible. He also provided water, tea, beer, snacks, and stopped for bathrooms/quick shops whenever we asked. Carlos could not have been a more fun or knowledgeable guide - if you are considering booking this excursion, do it. There is zero chance you will regret it. Pura Vida!
Beautiful waterfalls and Alejandro was a great guide! Challenging hikes to Leona but also very enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Thanks a lot, Desmond. We're happy you enjoyed your experience.
