Welcome to Our Jungle Home

Your private escape into Costa Rica’s untouched rainforest

Step into a world where the symphony of rushing waterfalls mingles with the chorus of tropical birds, and the emerald-green canopy stretches as far as the eye can see. At Santa Lucía Falls, we’re more than just tour guides—we’re caretakers of a private primary rainforest, passionate storytellers, and your hosts in this hidden corner of Uvita, Costa Rica. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the weight of the world lift as the jungle wraps you in its vibrant embrace. Welcome to your sanctuary of adventure, wonder, and authentic Tico hospitality.
Who We Are

Family Stewards of the Rainforest

We are Enrique and Humberto Núñez, two brothers whose childhood escapades in the Costa Rican wilderness blossomed into a lifelong devotion to conservation and exploration. Together with Humberto's wife Yajaira—whose home-cooked Costa Rican lunches are the perfect reward after a day of trekking—we founded Santa Lucía Falls to share the magic of our family’s land with fellow nature lovers. Our roots run deep here: every trail was once our playground, every waterfall a secret we vowed to protect. Today, we invite you to become part of our story.

Our Vision

To welcome every guest into a living classroom of wonder, where the roar of our waterfalls and the whisper of the rainforest kindle a lasting love for Costa Rica’s wild heart. We dream of a world where every traveler leaves here not just with photos, but with a renewed sense of purpose—to protect, celebrate, and share the magic of places like Santa Lucía Falls for generations to come.

Our Values

At the core of our family lies a deep respect for the land that raised us—every tour we guide is infused with gratitude, humility, and a genuine desire to uplift both people and planet. We believe in tending this jungle with care, honoring local traditions through warm hospitality, and nurturing connections that turn visitors into lifelong guardians of nature’s beauty.
